Pink pays off for Elliot

Last Updated : 18-Nov-2010 by PA

Elliot has swapped his goalkeeping jersey from yellow to pink in recent weeks and the move seems to have paid off.

The Addicks promptly thrashed Peterborough 5-1 before Elliot's man-of-the-match performance in Tuesday night's 1-0 FA Cup win over Barnet.

"I conceded seven goals in two games so I decided to go for the yellow," he said.

"But when we played Peterborough I had to wear pink because Joe Lewis was in yellow.

"I'm staying with the pink now. He's had a rest and he's earned back his place."
