Shirts of the past

Post by Guitargeorge » Mon Jul 20, 2020 7:22 am

When you picture our past shirts, who do you see wearing them. To start off, I see Billy Ingram, Peter Noble and Brian Flynn wearing the “V” shirt

Tommy Boyle in the iconic shirt with the blue ring round the neck. Captain of both the 1920/21 side that won the First Division Championship and the FA Cup Final in 1914.

Be a bit special if we adopted that shirt for next season, the centenary of that Championship win.

Peter Noble in the dark blue/sky blue away kit from the mid 70s - would be high on the shopping list if ever re-produced by Toffs or similar

Steve Davies (Mk II) - yellow with black pinstripe away kit

Paul Weller - claret and blue quarters

Ade Akinbiyi - claret with blue stripe across the chest (Cotterill era)

Why do all players in old photos look like they are over 50?

I’d love one of these.... I have the Poco sponsored home shirt from roughly that era.

Billy was absolute class. I was absolutely gutted when he left. Always followed him when he turned out for norn iron...

why are both Burnley and Liverpool in away kits?

that photo shows a lot about how times have changed

Hamilton no shin pads - not allowed now
No sponsors logos on both kits
Clemence wearing track suit bottoms and a green top for an away kit
players wearing black boots
perimeter adverts being hoardings not flashing leds or whatever they use now

remember listening to that on the radio - though I was sure the defender on the right was Hansen, after seeing Clemence - makes sense now though

Yes, does look like Hansen but I think it's Steve Perryman.
