players swapping shirts at end of matches

[starchaser]

i've always wondered about this one - does david beckham have a vast collection of international shirts.

and is there a player somewhere who's managed to collect every nations shirt?

and why do they do it - and where does it come from?

1- i'd imagine most of them are given to cousins, friends, etc.

2 - you'd need to play at least 191 internationals to get every shirt so tis unlikely! although that's based on playing every country. and the faroe isles, american samoa etc are not considered independent nations.

Man, i'm bored.
