Pic: Bastian Schweinsteiger is wearing probably the very first pair of shin-pads ever invented

We hope he doesn't get a kick on the ankle...

We hope he doesn’t get a kick on the ankle…

JOE always double checks that we have our shin-pads packed into our gear bag before he off to a game. We even pack an extra pair because there is always someone who forgets theirs.

It seems that Bastian Schweinsteiger could probably do with borrowing some from us though, if this picture is anything to go by…

The ragged looking gear, which looks like a piece of driftwood, appears to have German sports brand Uhlsport written on them, as well as his Bayern Munich number 31 and ‘Basti’.

We reckon that the midfielder probably has enough money to get himself some new ones.
