Remember these T shirts?

[johnnytapia]

My mate Colin Lund produced all the T-shirts and ran the Soccer 2 shop on the corner of Claremont Road (Blue Moon chippy backed on to it)

He also held the licence for all the stalls down Sir Matt Busby Way at Old Trafford.

Made a lot of money.

Used to travel to away games with him and his young lad Darren, even went to Florida with them to see City in 1991, although the Alan Hudson tournament got cancelled.

Colin also brought out a line of City Shell suits which I wore to the FA Youth Cup Final at Watford's Vicarage Lane, must be late 80s?

Think Colin did the door at The Venue now and then. He’d let me in for nowt as I was quite a frequent customer of his. Used to book away trips there through UF tours circa 1990

Trust me I saw it on the day, there were some right slapped arsed rags retweeting it and complaining, there was though enough other rags telling them to get a grip.


Much a do about fuck all, I did chuckle at the knobs

If they were ever reproduced would snap one up in an instnace

The picture appeared in Blue Print to flog the shirt. The four in the shot all Failsworth blues!
I will ask Bill Borrows if maybe a set amount could be re-printed with proceeds going to Colin's school

Haha, I went with official party from the club to Watford. My mum even went.

I could play a bit of football you know ;)

Played in same team as Adie Mike a few times for Manchester Boys.

I turned out a few times for the same but think I must've been 3-4 years your junior.

Off topic but the OP reminded me I had one of these, probably got it on one of my regular evening trips down there for viewing purposes, what a couple of weeks that was in the spring of 1990.

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

Once had a pair of flared jeans that had Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble on the thighs.

Bought them from Stolen From Ivor in the underground Market when going through my Stone Roses phase.

Then I started working for a living and could afford to buy Soviet jeans from Bilkos in the Royal Exchange!

Christ. Stolen from Ivor!

What was that denim brand that took off like crazy and they all came from one importer near Strangeways?

They were I think really really baggy jeans, and everyone wanted a pair.
