bengalcub Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I’ve got the home one to that but I have no idea what year it was ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Based on Historical Kits I'd say it was 1997-1998, as it matches the home kit below... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Very pretty kit ruined by that awful ******* collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This almost never seems to happen nowadays, one is expected to know everyone by sight. Or, as I suspect, is it pure idleness? I would add that this trend is not limited to football alone.

Admittedly I was about 9/10 that season so dont remember much of it - did he ever actually play? For what its worth a very nice guy, and works for the academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Isn’t there something with that photo where it isn’t actually Steve Torpey and his head has been photoshopped on, or did I imagine it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think you're correct. If I recall a member of staff stood in for Torpey and they stuck the head on later. I think the same member of staff kept standing in for him on the pitch in the 98-99 season as well. 21 appearances - 4 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, time to confess. I was working at a local graphics company a short walk away from the ground, and did this work. Slightly tricky because the sunlight was directly in the face of Steve Torpey and the shadows are far more defined in the team shot. Initially the club asked for a square insert of a head and shoulders shot to be inserted in the top right of the team photo, but the player who's Steve's head was attached to left the club, (as far as I remember it was not a coach). Can't remember who left, but I have a suspicion that they were black, good job you can't see their hands. Great days for a City fan like me as I went on to do work for the promotion book and the centenary book. If you don't believe me look at the "thanks to" section in the front of the book. 20 years on I think I could manage a better job - no one knew what Photoshop was in 1998 and very few people would have been looking for the signs of a retouched image.
