I recently found a jersey in a thrift store. Its a red AFC Gooners jersey. Its got a Fly Gooners sponsor on the front as well as Ashburton Grove 2006 in small print. On the back is Fabregas. Just wondering what AFC Gooners is. Is it a team Fabregas played for?

Sounds like a knock-off of an (A)rsenal (F)ootball (C)lub jersey. Arsenal also go by the name Gunners and a nickname for the team/supporters is Gooners. Cesc Fabregas plays for Arsenal. The "Fly Gooners" is a play on Arsenal's sponsor "Fly Emirates".

I definitely wouldn't pay much money for the thrift store shirt (<$5).
