    The colour of a footballer's boots reveals what type of player he is according to a leading sports psychologist.

    Dr Martin Perry classify footballers according to their choice of footwear.

    The Old Pro: Black Boots
    - A safe colour and suggests certainty and authority. Always worn traditional black boots, and always will.


    The Maestro: White Boots
    - White represents purity and light and the Maestro oozes talent and class, and has everything except sweat-inducing work rate.


    The Hot Potato: Red Boots
    - Red is an intense colour which generates emotions. This fire-brand is impetuous and rash and will make their mark on the game, and their opponents.


    The Veteran: Blue Boots
    - We look for blue skies, for peace and tranquility. He is convinced that his experience and nous more than makes up for a lack of pace. He switched to blue boots to demonstrate his coolness and calmness under pressure.


    The Enigma: Green Boots
    - Here is a player who has the manager tearing his hair out in frustration. On his day, he can win a match by himself. One week, storming the barricades; next week, missing in action. Why? Who knows?


    The Entertainer: Yellow Boots
    - Yellow brings good cheer and optimism. Our yellow-booted entertainer is the life and soul of the team and shows lots of energy and enthusiasm.


    The Organiser: Brown Boots
    - Our brown booted player will be a smartly turned out defender, unyielding and dependable with a penchant for a sliding tackle.


    The Golden Boy: Gold Boots
    - The colour of sun brings warmth and wisdom. He is super talented, but he might believe too much in his own publicity.


    The Headless Chicken: Silver Boots
    - Silver offers light and balance, and he has speed and pace to burn. However he is sometimes known as a headless chicken and his passing can be erratic.


    The Eccentric: Orange Boots
    - Orange offers freedom and emotional release. Your orange booted player can be prone to impulsive decision making and heart stopping gaffes - the boots express his individuality and desire to be different.

    Nani is wearing them now as well, and he's very hit or miss for us.

    My boots would suggest that I'm suffering from Schizophrenia, as I switch between white Puma King Execs, Blue F30.7s, Slate F30.6s, white Absolutes, and black turf Absolians (or whatever the hell they are).

    I've played my best soccer in the Blue F30s, and my best Rugby in the Slate F30s.

    This is where he got it from.

    I'd be the Entertainer and the Maestro, previously had been a combination of headless chicken+veteran and before that the old pro, twice(stupid as those were my first two pairs of boots).

    Yeah, I suppose that works. There are times where I show up for games and I'm like, "it'd be nice to just get a red card so I don't have to be here anymore." And then last week I made a 45 yard run with the ball, beating 4 players from my left back position and scored from 25 yards out. I don't try to beat players, really ever.

    For me,
    Whenever I switch into the following, my playing style changes.

    Lasers: More shots from a distance, more spin/curve on long passes and free kicks. Less movement, and more of a offensive midfield playing style. I usually play defense in these.

    +F50.7s: More movement, medium range shots, close ball control, 50% more speed. 1 body feint and shot on goal. Free Kicks are similar to Lasers but less spin. I usually play mid with these on.

    Vapor IV: 100% movement, more jukes, more wall passes and medium-short range shots. Free kicks have less spin. I use Vapor IVs in defense when I notice that touch and speed is more important because the opponent has the same amount as I do, if not more. But I'll use these 90% of the time when I play Forward/Striker.

    My boots say I'm thrifty... I think I have paid $80 for my last three pairs of boots (one pair turfs, one pair studs, one pair molded). My wife won't let me spend any more...
