Everton boss Sean Dyche has stated his players are not allowed to wear snoods or hats in training, a ruling that has prompted Darren Bent to reminisce about a particular moment with Ashley Young at Aston Villa. Dyche who has succeeded Frank Lampard at Goodison Park, was asked about the reasoning behind banning the items.
Sean Dyche said: “This has been going round for years and it drives me mad. Unless I’ve been out of the game for too long, you’re not allowed to wear hats when you play on a Saturday, you’re not allowed to wear snoods when you play on a Saturday and you have to, by the rules, wear shin pads. It is not rocket science. Everyone makes the mythical story that it’s hard lines from Sean Dyche. It is just common sense. You train how you play, how can you train how you play if you have 14 snoods on, 15 hats and leggings, no shin pads, white socks, it’s not relevant. I told the players, ‘these myths I’m going to bust them for you right now.'”
