I don’t think we wore that shirt that day, fairly sure it had black block stripe with white piping in it. I went to that game on the service, watched first half in the Springbok pub, think we were 3-0 down at half time so fucked the game off and got service home.
We defo did
This is the home programme from the reverse fixture. On the cover I think it shows the kit we wore in the corresponding away fixture at Loftus. 100% wasn’t all yellow.
My bad...just checked your right. I dud recall it being yellow tho so 10 pts for my age addled brain ...plus ..as stated...I was leathered
We didn’t
No probs pal.
I wax more leathered- which is why I probably remember it better!
My biggest memory of that weekend wasntt the match, but from the night before in Windsor..kicked what I thought was an empty box...only turned put to have a full fucking cake in it. Exposed all over me..the rest of the night was spent from pub to pub looking like a cream donught..much to my mates amusement
The elusive Kappa 3rd shirt was worn just the five times against QPR, Portsmouth, Huddersfield, Reading & Birmingham during the 97/98 season.
Beautiful kit and never sold as a replica IIRC. I went to all the games you referenced- Birmingham went 1-0 up in 88th minute and lost 2-1.
I was on the pitch but just got a chunk of the pitch. Far too fucking slow for owt decent.
Do you think we’ll ever do anyone by 10 again? There have been a few games over the years where I think we could have done it. Rags sick swan being a prime example.
Burton in he League Cup 2019 was close of course but personally I think it could be written in stars when we play Huddersfield at home in the FA Cup :-)
He was brilliant and scored some right thunderbastards!
As a kid, I was gutted when he left. Scored a few crackers in his short spell with us.
