MY THOUGHTS

Before owning this shirt I had never heard of Township Rollers. In fact I really had no knowledge of football in Botswana whatsoever. That it the advantage of collecting football shirts. You learn all sorts of wonderful bits of information that you wouldn't typically have known. Tse Tala are the most successful football team from Botswana which makes sense as to why this is the only football shirt available to buy from Botswana. I received this as a Christmas present and I am very pleased to own a Township Rollers football shirt. This now means I own an Umbro football shirt from every single continent. Umbro seem to have put a little more detail into this jersey compared to some of the others that I own. That being said though the quality of the material isn't as good as some of the European ones.

RANDOM CLUB FACT

Township Rollers has a rivalry with fellow Gaborone team Gaborone United (GU). This rivalry can traced back to early years of organised Botswana football as the two teams were part of the Gaborone Big Three, together with Notwane , the three sides being dominant from the early years of Botswana club football in the 1960s and 1970s. BDF XI (1980s) and Extension Gunners (1990s), later joined the Gaborone Big Three in achieving league success. The Gaborone Derby between Rollers and GU was Botswana football's biggest match between the 1960s and the 1990s.[citation needed] But in the post-2000 period the derby waned somewhat due to the mixed fortunes of the teams, as they struggled in the early years of the new millennium (2000-4).
