that self grabbing is what I refer to as the classic "pudpull" move... :)

Your question about kits: After league or friendly games, often, usually just shirts are exchanged with players having the same number. Its a sportsmanship thing showing respect to the opposition. Some even put the opposing players shirts back on (soaked with sweat) (although i see this less over the years) For final championship games, league clinching games etc, players celebrate and thats when u see whole kits thrown to fans as part of the celebrations (and thankyou's for fan support) Often celebrations go further into dressing rooms where water, alcohol etc is sprayed around. What also i find interesting about the sport is the "clutching and grabbing" that this contact sport has. Not only during the accidental tackles with the opposite team, but even celebrations with own team members! Then there is the shear joy of seeing obviously above average hung players bouncing around in there kits as they run, or "cover up" for free kicks etc. All in all, its an amazing sport, not only to watch, but to play as well!
