You know when you're not quite sure if you actually read a news article on the internet or just dreamt it and can't quite figure out of its real or not? This is one of those times.
Former wheeler dealer football manager Harry Redknapp has apparently been spending his time away from football by looking to back the most ridiculous football related start-up he can find, and sure enough, we think he's found it.
The 'Serafino 4th edge' is a monstrosity of a boot that is designed to make the toe-bog more effective, by providing a flat surface at the toe so that your random punts are less random. Have a look at the pictures, and try and think of someone other than the absolute worst player at your weekly 5-a-side who would want to wear these things:
Adidas are trying to innovate by creating boots with no laces, and this lot are trying to send the game back to the senior infants playground.
Why on Earth anyone would want to wear these over a pair of conventional football boots we don't know, but there's a Kickstarter campaign to get them out there, and Harry Redknapp isn't the only big name to support the idea, no, also lending his name to this project is...
Garth Crooks.
No, really:
Imagine asking your parents for a new pair of boots, and coming down on Christmas Day to find these things waiting for you under the tree.
Irreversible damage.
