ReplyDeleteI could say a LOT to you, Rich Johnson. I am a Coventry fan and I have autism, so yes detail is important to me too. I remember the old club shop by the players car park in King Richard Street.
ReplyDeleteI too had a Liverpool shirt that I wore at school.
After that, I had I also had the 1982 Admiral England Goalkeeper shirt. Which I wish I still had.
Then when I was 15 I bought the 1987/1988 shirt.
(not the FA Cup shirt, the first Hummel shirt)
I was appalled that there was no sponsor on it but to my delight they began the 88/89 season in the samand never got it backe kit only with no sponsor.
Next shirt I got was England 1988 3rd kit, in sky blue which is apparently worth a few quid now. I lent it to someone though sadly
