It's only a tiny shop, hidden away on an Anfield street, but it has an amazing backstory - and an incredible celebrity following. Michael Deane, the co-owner of Hat, Scarf Or A Badge - or HSOAB as it’s becoming known - began with him designing T-shirts solely for his family and his mates. But because his T-shirt designs were becoming increasingly popular Anfield resident Michael and his wife Michelle got an idea to open up the business venture as a little shop tucked away just a few goal kicks from The Kop. The unique T-shirts have been worn by thousands of match-going Liverpool fans and supporters all over the world - along with current and former footballers, music stars, boxers and TV stars of the Red persuasion. Michael, 47, said: “It started as a hobby. I’m actually an engineer and that’s my main job, but I like designing T-shirts and I was doing them for people in my family and my mates who go the match. It was just a hobby. “Then Liverpool fans were … [Read more...] about Meet the avid Liverpool FC fans behind Anfield’s famous HSOAB shop
