It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since Sam Hefford and Sam Baird, business partners at Simson Aggregates Solutions Limited, started attending WWE events in their football shirts, emulating the iconic ‘Green Shirt Guy’ character.
Sam and his business partner, Mr Hefford, first started going to events in January, inspired by the character who consistently appeared on live tapings sporting the same green t-shirt. They initially wore a Blue and a Villa shirt, but their idea quickly gained traction and soon they were stopped by fans at every event.
