Sportsfile were on board to cover and shoot all of our media shots with Xpose on hand interviewing and shooting behind the scenes as the day unfolded.
Handed his international debut by Giovanni Trapattoni in May 2009, St Ledger went on talk about the importance of looking sharp arriving to games and the confidence it brings to all of the players pre-match. Stephen Hunt, as a player carved out an impressive career across the water with Reading, Hull, Wolves and Ipswich, earning 39 caps for his country to boot. Stephen, known for his fashion prowess, commented that the Senior Mens squad will certainly look sharp when they get their bespoke Benetti suits fitted in the coming months.
It was a successful day, and for one, we cannot wait to design and supply both casual and formal outfits to the 'Boys In Green'.
