Shirts & Players

Inspired by the thread about Cisse out and about with his old school away shirt on I started to think about how certain shirts remind you of certain players?

 

For me, that silver one with the red speckles (bird shit effect?) always reminded me of Johnny Barnes. Others would be:

 

- Gold away (treble year) - Mickey Owen

- Green/White quarters - Fowler with his blonde hair belting one in against Spurs really early one year.

- The white one with green sleeves and black ribs (adidas stripes) - has to be big Jan.

 

Any more for any more?

Silver one always reminds me of Steve Nicol (header at Arsenal I think).

 

Green one reminds me of John Barnes back heel goal ( v Crewe ? )

 

Gold - Agreed - St Mike at Cardiff.

Why would we be wearing the away shirt against Spurs?

Good point, pretty sure we were doing our "We've got a new kit out, let's wear it whenever we can and flog as many as possible" routine. We've done it before, we'll do it again.

The adidas 95/96 with the big 'v' collar will alaays be Stanley's wonderful winner v. Newcastle in the first 4-3 game.

 

The adidas 85/86 away (white shirts black shorts) is Paul Walsh in the cup vs. Watford.

 

The all yellow Umbro away is Rush's superb hat trick against the Villa in 84/85

The ecru one is getting embarassed by PSG (minus the Carlsberg sponsor)
