Not just in football either. I watch rugby as much as football these days, and I have a Rotherham Titans rugby union shirt with no less then 14 seperate adverts on it. The mind boggles.

As much as I am loathe to defend Man U in any way I have to admit that most clubs would do the same thing if given half a chance. Especially given how much most football clubs are in debt.
