BELLERIN ON REAL BETIS
'My dad was a Real Betis fan. He actually had this kit when I was really young.
'He used to get me a plain green and white football kit with no branding, no badge, nothing. He told me "that's a Betis kit" and I was like "OK, cool".
'I used to go on the road to play in it but as I was getting older and there were other teams - Madrid used to win loads of games, Barca - I was like "oh dad, I'm not sure I want to be Betis no more".
'He was like "nah, nah, nah, every time you go outside to play football you have to wear it". I was a bit forced at some point.'

BELLERIN ON SPAIN
'This was the first one that I remember them playing in. One of the earliest memories I have of the national team playing, I was in my grandmother's house and I remember (Fernando) Morientes was there, Raul was playing.
'I just remember being like "this is what I want to do when I grow up". This is one of the first kits that I remember.
'I love the retro kits. Not just this one but all the nineties kits. I just think everyone should look at them and think "we should make the cool version of this now".
'This one I really remember. The first player that comes into my head wearing this is (Sergio) Ramos and (Fernando) Torres wearing this one.
'When I was growing up I had this exact one. Everyone in my family used to get full red ones, just with the national team badge on it because every season they would be red so they didn't have to get another one!
'I love the way the badges were back in the day. They were actually sewed in the shirt. Right now there's so many teams were they just put a little bit of plastic.
'I feel like this gives a lot of worth to the shirt because wearing a badge is very big. It should be represented.'
