Does anybody remember this statement by Mr R. G. Webb of the Southland Football Rugby Union?  
Rugby players and their stockings came in for a blast by Mr R.G. Webb at a meeting of the

Southland Rugby Football Union management committee.  “It’s a pitiful sight to see teams with their socks hanging over the tops of their boots.” said Mr Webb.

He made particular mention of the Town team at Rugby Park on Queens birthday.  The team looked a disgrace he added.

Then Mr Webb, placed Southland players on the psychiatric couch. “Northern teams do not have their socks hanging over their boots.  It is something that seems peculiar to Southland teams.  The reason I think is a throwback to the small-boy stage where they liked to have their socks hanging over their boots. 

Mr Webb finished  with a simple solution to the problem—”The answer is garters”
