The donkey jacket that never was. I still have an image in my mind of Footie in a donkey jacket - so, a donkey jacket it was!
God save the Queen !

Though possibly at less expense than would have been required for the duffel coat featured earlier in this thread.
But it does appear that the myth originated within the Labour party:
...one Labour MP said he was “disgusted to see that the leader of Her Majesty’s opposition looked more like an Irish navvy than a party leader” ...
Do we know who it was?

Duffel/le bags were useless - never big enough, and the ropes always dug into your back and shoulders. Satchels (and Rucksacks) much better!
AND you could put them on under your coat and go around calling out "The Bells! The Bells!"

Which is of course how the fans described the imperative....
( Some of the teams I have seen ran around like they were wearing donkey jackets...and played like donkeys....)I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

That said, we seem to have gone a long way from whether anyone should or should not or indeed could or could not save the non-duffel/le-coat-wearing non-duffle/el-bag carrying Queen - or indeed from what, let alone whether or not the present National Anthem ought to be scrapped altogether or substituted with something else...

Duffel/le coats were school uniform at my last school, and very practical they were too. I wore my last coat until I was about 40, when the then mrs m declared enough was enough, and disposed of it.
