Chimbonda - Why the gloves?

[Markyqpr]

Adel wears gloves......same old rangers fans looking for a scapegoat.....bad day at office.....move on!

Trawled through a few Google links on this...
Apparently, he found it cold in this country when he first came over, so started wearing them, and never got out of the habit, even in the warm weather.
Doesn't sound like there are any medical or cultural reasons for it.

Sounds like he's homesick.
