When I wrote this article, ...Dear me, Flicktokick! When I wrote this article, I didn't think for one moment I'd uncover such scandalous likings for other teams' kits!!!<BR/><BR/>That green and black Coventry change strip's going back a fair way - early to mid 1970's I'm guessing? And the home shirt would have been all sky blue? I think I'd have liked that myself, actually!!<BR/><BR/>Funny you mention West Brom - I always quite liked their yellow and green change shirt after seeing John Wile wearing his while nursing a head wound in the opening titles to Match of the Day. You had to be there, I guess...<BR/><BR/>And the N.Ireland shirt would have been slightly pre-pinstripe, would that be right? And I'm thinking that the French top would have been the one worn in Spain '82? Very nice!<BR/><BR/>Yes I must admit, you might be a turncoat of the highest order, but you've got good taste, Flicktokick... ;-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing that with us!!Chris Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451130702323813966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-61328309836833109392008-07-26T17:31:00.000+01:002008-07-26T17:31:00.000+01:00Oh so many sins to divulge.It started at the age o...Oh so many sins to divulge.<BR/>It started at the age of six when al I wanted was a Coventry City strip to be like my hero Colin Stein, whose number 9 Rangers top hadn't been off my back all year. I got the green and black striped change but the sky blue top was never mine, althought I did have both home and away subbuteo teams!<BR/><BR/>Later when my new hero Willie Johnston transferred to West Brom,it was their top I wanted, but never got.<BR/><BR/>I did buy a Northern Ireland (Shiny Adidas, first generation) top in 1980 because England were playing them in a youth international at Carlisle and a subsequent trip to France in 1981 brought me a beautiful pin-striped French top.<BR/>Blimey, I have twenty-seven years left to detail and I must have bored most of you by now. Time to stop!

There was just something about that large badge and the big 'R', 'F' and 'C' in the curly writing which I always found very classy. Thankfully I was heavily overdrawn and Toffs refused my credit card, thus saving me from eternal damnation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-82660185229221709412008-07-17T14:44:00.000+01:002008-07-17T14:44:00.000+01:00I used to dry myself with a Livepool towel which m...I used to dry myself with a Livepool towel which my mum bought me for Christmas. <BR/><BR/>I am an Everton fan.Chris Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802552540510622816noreply@blogger.com
