In case you’ve been hibernating for the past month, Christmas is again upon us, and as everybody is preparing to warm to the seasonal spirit, Premiership Talk looks at the perfect football stocking fillers!

Being from the Boston area, and being a football (soccer) player myself, I was glad that I’d have something to keep my head warm in my next match. The great thing about this beanie is that it is thick enough to keep you warm, but not so thick that it bothers you …
