Remember these T shirts?

[BillCarlisle]

I remember having the "5-1" shirt and IIRC, "Maine Road Massacre" somewhere on it

Coincidentally I was clearing out some drawers the other day & came across a shirt I bought the next home game after the 5-1. On the front is a big sky-blue bulldog throttling a tiny bare-arsed red devil with the caption : " Go ahead punk, make my day ". Used to love wearing that in the pub. Probably the same one as yours ?

That's the one

Lol. It was a classic at the time. Still is, in fact. :-)

I love being a Manc even more when I see t shirts like that. It’s just so... Manchester.

I used to get my dad to fork out £5 for a t-shirt almost every home game. My favourite was the X-files parody one - Is Kinkladze from a different planet? The truth is out there.

Loved that shop.

I still have that t shirt! Loved it! Had a photo with Lee and Summerbee in that in 97.

Loved the soccer shop, still have a few tees from there packed away somewhere, and my grey woolly city hat is still used by my other half.

I went past Maine Road in Dec, and still think of that corner as the soccer shop, the 11 bus (then the 111 when renumbered) would drop us at that side of the ground, so the soccer shop would be our first place for a quick look.

The deaf punk used to get around... He used to be at alty station if there was a punk gig in town. We'd get on the train (remember them?) and try and fend him off all the way to oxford road... On T shirts, it has always bugged me that the Rösler's grandad one had a lanc on it.

 

[Maccblue]

Haha John the deaf punk got around didn’t he? Afflecks by day, The Venue by night

And Piccadilly station with his little sign !

 

[Ted_Bovis]

Wow yeah what ever happened to that punk? Always used to bump into him in Cloud 9 or outside Afflecks with his "20p please" sign.
Only went to The Venue the once.

Was he the one who used to jab you in the ribs with an old credit card if you didn’t give him some change?

I liked the brazil shirts with the city badge and Robinho on the back

I've got one of those. Flew over for the game and my mate bought four of them at the club shop.

Dave Whelan broke his leg....?

I hadn't heard about that - When did it happen?

Haha - Okay then, what about against Ryan Wilson ;)

That was through my school team when we used to kick that fucker when he was at Moorside.

Adie used to work in JD Sports, you know?

Brought up as many times as Dave Whelan broken leg.

i used to play at deans afc in swinton a couple of years below ryan wilson and had the its 12 months gone and its still 5 1 shirt

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I also had the shirt with a cartoon City fan wearing a City shirt pissing on a Rag shirt on the floor

That could be worth a few bob one day. His signing was the start of the dynasty.

I had the T-shirt with a bulldog in a city top strangling a red devil that looked like a demented chicken and had our 89 fixtures n the back - the folly of youth!

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Colin is my uncle, loved going in that shop on match days. I'd pick a couple of badges or something then he would ring it through the till, take a tenner off me and give me 2 fivers back.

Darren is 2 years older than me (he's just turned 40) so we were very close growing up, vividly remember him going to Florida with Colin. I've sent him this thread and he says hello from him and his old man.

Some great memories on here

Wow, Darren is 40? That makes me feel old.

He was ten and I was 16 when we all went to Florida together.

Colin always looked out for me and heart of gold, who never suffered fools.

Tell Daz, Scott said hello to him and his old man.

I remember the punk, dont remember the credit card, must have given him change, piece of paper with 30p bus if memory is right. Seem to remember him being around Arndale Market entrance area a couple of times, used to see him at the odd gig as well. A character around town.

The Venue was the bollocks. Best music by a mile. Dave Haslam always used to steadfastly refuse to play any Sniths on a Thursday night at the Hacienda Temperance Club slot cos he was too cool for that. Leo would always play loads inckudung tons of the rarely played stuff “Jeane” “miserable lie” etc etc. Some nights over 20 tracks. Loved it!

10000000% it was piece of paper/ card with 30p bus. I lived above the Arndale bus station for ten years. He owes me a fortune!

Haha, not seen him for 25 yrs+ but remember him appearing with his paper/card.
Completely off topic from OP but anyone else remember a guy who used to wear the old brown bus drivers suit and would go round pubs in town singing to people, think he was called Anthony? Around the same era as the 30p punk.
