There would have been a fair few blues delighted when opening one of these treasure boxes over a Christmas or birthday back in the day.

That kit is the second one I ever had. Out on Christmas morning with my United fan mate, I know, in his new kit.
And an ‘our club’ football from Woolworth’s’!

Oddly enough I remember as a little lad being taken down to the local sports shop. I couldnt get the sky blue kit so settled for the brilliant red and black kit in the box :) I'm guessing I was 9 or 10
Came in a box like this and was my first City kit

Gibsons in ‘the avenue’ used to let us pay weekly for these. I got the shirt for my Birthday and shorts / socks with my selection box, nuts and tangerine for Christmas. Good times.
