Quiz 30 -
Sporting Adverts
As we all know footballers (and other top
sportspeople) can hardly make ends meet from what they earn from sport so
its not unusual to see them turn to advertising to earn that extra £ or
two.
Have any of those ads stuck in your mind?.

More interesting I guess would be did you
ever buy any
of the products because of the ads?
