He also displayed it at full-time amid the jubilant title-winning scenes.

According to the International Football Association Board (IFAB) laws of the game which the FA follows, one rule states “Equipment must not have any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images.”

The Law reads; “Equipment must not have any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images. Players must not reveal undergarments that show political, religious, personal slogans, statements or images, or advertising other than the manufacturer’s logo.
