    Pretty sure @Archey covered this when he first signed for us?

    Something like... Nicky Cadden loves the colour black and has done ever since he was a child, owing to his mother's gothic tendancies and love for Bauhaus and early Adam and the Ants. Cadden naturally became a goth in his teenage years, growing obsessed with The Cure. Having once seen a black armband on the arm of Robert Smith, Cadden sought to imitate his idol.

    He never leaves the house without the black armband. Indeed, he grew so attached to it he even procured a waterproof black armband so he can wear it in the shower whilst humming "Boys Don't Cry", and on the traditional boxing day swimathon in the River Clyde. No longer satiated with the black armband, Nicky took up the popular martial art Tae Kwon Do, to obtain a black belt as quickly as possible, it being much easier to achieve than in other martial arts such as karate or Jiu-Jitsu, as is widely acknowledged. Cadden is very proud of both his black armband and his black belt.

    It's a sign of his commiserations for his twin brother Chris who plays for Hibs. That's reason enough.

    Is it actually a black armband? Or is it something he has on under his shirt?

    To confirm @Archey, I thoroughly enjoy your 'in profile' write-ups when new players are announced, I'm not sabotaging it :) I look forward to your next one!

    I appreciate that mate. I just think sometimes this board needs a bit of light relief. Building up my research on Felix Strauss, just in time for him to sign for Derby or sumat.

    We'd certainly have problems if I did sign for us. I've become a reasonably competent 5 a side keeper in the last couple of years, but that's the full extent of my footballing prowess.
