One Dickie Rooks Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 I had the Man city away kit where the shirt was white with a diagonal red and navy blue stripe from the right shoulder to the left of the waist-lovely material too must've been 1973ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully i now hate them! To be fair, if it was this one then it was a thing of beauty (even if it was Leeds), quite minimalist for the era (I think around the same time they also had a navy blue and green striped away kit which was equally as smart) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Tampa bay rowdies kit when I was about 11 (Early 80s) because my best mate had it and a year or so later the Southampton home kit because I had a pair of Patrick football boots to match the Patrick kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingswood Robin Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 I used to do the Bristol Bordeaux exchange and had a Bordeaux shirt given to me with "OPEL" across the front of it. Other than that, the obligatory Barcelona shirt from the Costa Brava. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanker Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 I can remember as a kid going into Doug Hilliard sports shop on Stapleton Rd at Christmas and buying Man City, Man Utd and Chelsea kits plus a pair of Adidas Inter football boots all for under £10.

Major Isewater Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 My first football kit was a Wolves one . My parents bought it for me , I suppose because I was playing for Worlebury Wanderers . I never really liked my parents . I was always hoping to find out that I was adopted.

formerly known as ivan Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Had a family friend who worked abroad a lot so used to get him to get me a few shirts. Munich, Wolfsburg and Porto are three that I remember most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent many a Saturday morning browsing the record section of Martins.Happy days. First and only replica shirt (before this seasons black away shirt) was Scotland 1974 with a big number 9 on the back. Joe Jordan was my non City hero and aged 12 I was oblivious to the England / Scotland rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey54 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 QPR in the 70's. Simple hoops. Got bought it cos I loved Stan Bowles. Also had a Glasgow Rangers shirt when I lived in Scotland. The time of Gazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumRed Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Tottenham in the 80’s, a Le Coq Sportif one, but only due to needing a football shirt for school and mum found it in Oxfam for pennies. (I was living in Essex). And a generic red Umbro that was cheap in Asda when I was 5 and I was convinced it was a real City shirt. Lived in Manchester at the time so everyone assumed I was a Man U fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Apart from a mid 90's Rangers away. I came across a photo of chubby little me, aged 8/9 ish , wearing a Crystal Palace kit. Now this isn't the 'team of the 80's kit, this isn't even the team with Alan Wittle (I loved Everton as 2nd team in Junior school) and Don Rodgers (brilliant player), it was the 69/70 kit. Nice kit, but have no idea why I had it, apart from replica shirts were rare, and it looked nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember an Ajax one and, for some reason Deportivo La Coruna (I think it was when they had Bebeto playing for them). I also think I had a CS Maritimo one from a holiday in Madeira. On holiday in Turkey I bought their national team shirt with ‘ Mansiz ‘ on the back. It was this player that scored the ‘ golden goal ‘ to take them through to the World Cup semis in 2002. I was exceedingly well received wherever I went when wearing it . ( Travel tip from the Major , foreigners love to be patronised ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until a few years ago there was a Brechin fan who occasionally posted on here. He pointed out both teams are BCFC and both play in red & white. Interesting that Brechin started in blue, but are now red; http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Brechin_City/brechin_city.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City oz Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 My aunty gave me a Gas shirt as a Christmas present around 1970. I do remember keeping it for some reason. At this time i was young but my dad took me to all home games at Ashton gate and was a die hard City fan from day one. The gas shirt I kept and it was always a joking point over past years. I misplaced it several times when we moved houses but some for some reason the missues must have packed it and the shirt would always appear now again. it was 2018 when my dad visited me from the UK. We also had my son and family down from Darwin and it was winter time in Perth. We have an out side fire pit by the Barbie and one night after too many beers there was my old may he RIP as he passed away last year, my son, myself and the rest of us and we actually burned the Gas shirt. Im still explaining to my grandson who is now 9 years old the significance of the ritual. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenkibby. Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Can't remember City shirts being around in the late 60s. I had a full Leeds kit when I was a kid, think It was ordered from the Shoot football mag or maybe Goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
