Esteve

[Biggus]

Why does he play with a cast/bandage on his right arm?

[Awayfromburnley]

He's a part time drummer in a punk band and has really bad repetitive strain injury on his right arm. Having it on during games means he can still drum that evening.

Chat GTP suggests:


1. “Captain Cast”: Steve thinks the cast makes him look like a superhero, ready to save the game.

2. “Steve the Sleeve”: He’s just trying to make the nickname stick, even if the “sleeve” is made of plaster.

3. Cast Autograph Collector: Steve’s using it as a way to collect signatures from all his teammates (and maybe the ref).

4. “Strong-Arm Steve”: He believes the cast makes him look tougher, like he’s ready for both football and arm wrestling.

5. “Steve-a-tron 3000”: He’s convinced the cast makes him part cyborg, giving him an edge on the field.

6. “Steve’s Secret Stash”: Rumor has it, he’s hiding extra shin pads or maybe a lucky charm inside.

7. “Sleeveless Steve”: He insists on playing shirtless at training, so the cast is his way of keeping one arm covered for balance.

8. “The Cast Crusader”: He’s secretly hoping the cast will inspire a football comic book series about his life.

9. “Steve the Stylized”: He’s trying to start a trend, hoping other players will follow and casts will become the next big accessory.

10. “Clumsy Steve”: Let’s face it, Steve probably just tripped over his own shoelaces during warm-up.



There are some of these that need ruling out but I do like ‘STEEEEVE’S SLEEEEEVE!!’

It’s where he keeps his play sheet.

The defensive coordinator calls in the tactics every time the oppo are on the attack, Esteve has a quick glance down to refresh his memory and then marshals the defence accordingly.

Working like a charm so far.

Wearing a plaster of Paris reminds him of home.

[ElectroClaret]

He can get wrapped up like an Egyptian mummy for me as long as he keeps playing
like he is.

Wearing a plaster of Paris reminds him of home.

Nice cast.

[jedi_master]

It's where his third nipple is, and he's embarrassed to display it in public.

[Buxtonclaret]

Bet the OPs really glad he asked.

[NottsClaret]

He should definitely keep it. Phil Foden was miles better when he used to wear his.

It hides his NNN tattoo.
