I thought this was interesting. Kyocera have agreed to pay for the shirts that Marcus gives away for the rest of the season. So does this mean that the players have to pay for their uniforms? I've heard of clubs charging a maintenance fee, but actually charging for the uniforms seems a bit harsh. Anyway, this just shows even more what a class act Marcus is.

The club pays for the uniforms, but not for an unlimited supply. Marcus was throwing them into the stands, not ruining them (remember, he arrived in smaller times). IIRCC, there was also a fine attached to the jersey toss at one point, though that was soon waved.
He's not simply a class act, he's gonna be a legend to fans for decades to come. He may even overcome Death (former keeper ).

I don't think the grim reaper has anything on Marcus, either.
