A Marseille clothing designer is hoping to make hay with a hastily-designed t-shirt mocking Patrice Evra's karate kick on one of his team's own fans. The wording on the t-shirt reads in French "Un petit Pat pour l'homme - Un grand Pat vers la retraite" - A small step for the man, a giant step towards retirement. The caption, a play on words with 'Pat' and 'pas' (step) evokes American astronaut Neil Armstrong's iconic message back to earth when he became the first man to step on the moon in 1969.
