Great photo. First kit my parents bought me. Brings back memories. I'm sure it stayed the same style for a few years. Can't keep up with the amount of changes these days.
Was that the maroon/purple kit with the thin white stripes? That was cool as fuck. Gave mine to a barman in Turkey to hang on the wall.

Nike own Umbro, or did a few years back. My mate's Mrs was Umbro's Financial Director in Manchester when they were closed down by Nike. It was at the same time we swapped over to them. She reckons Nike want to pull Umbro out of English football.
Admiral kits! I remember my Mum buying me a dodgy copy of the England Spain 82 kit of Wythenshawe market. You had to sew the badge on yourself and she could never be bothered!

Oldham last game of the season one year. We climbed over the fence in with the blues. I remember loads of inflatables at the match. Especially a full size viking and Frankenstein' s monster!!
Blackburn when we won promotion. Shitting myself going in but it was full of City. That many that We started doing the conga! Also Madrid in the CL semi. Got tickets 2 minutes before kick off. Got to our seats in the gods and we were sat next to more blues!!
I try and explain to my nephew how much I hate spuds but he's too young to understand having only seen success. The bastards broke my heart as an 8 year old when they beat us in the cup final. What compounded the hatred is the fact that on every cup final day since, they have shown Ricky Villa's...
If Yaya had the right mentality at his peak he would have been up there with Messi and Ronaldo. Sometimes, watching him reminds me of a huge teenager playing against juniors. If only his head was right. He reminds me a little of Gazza. Gazza should have been the greatest footballer of all time...
