Not sure if relevant to this but Gearóid Morrissey plays for Cork City in Ireland. Quality player, now 28 and was on the books at Rovers as a youngster. A lot of young Irish players go to England young but end up coming back for lots of different reasons 

Interesting watch and not too long which was good. Had read about his home on Jersey, nice to see it here 

Happy birthday Tony, thanks for the memories 

Found this fake online 

decent effort ?

I've seen a lot of great strikers at Ewood over the years that could partner Shearer. Fred Pickering, Andy Mac, McCarthy, Kevin Gallagher, Jansen, Sutton, Santa Cruz etc. I rated them all but Bellamy just had that little bit extra.

Sutton could’ve scored more goals but was a good partner for Shearer 

I can’t believe the official store sold this absolute tripe of a “replica” (photo from eBay)

In 1995 at the rovers shop I believe....without checking I do believe it has 1994-95Premier League Champions in gold under the badge

Any pics? 
 

here is an away shirt with the ‘premier league champions’ in gold but badge is stick-on and not embroidered like the players shirts

I've got one...its embroidered...

Where did you buy that do you mind me asking? 
Here’s another pic of those games during 95/96 that I’ve found where ASICS logo is missing and badge is embroidered.

It looks kosher to me. There was definitely no ASICS badge on the shirt for that game (see photo). I think it may have been 95/6 season though?

Wow you are the man!! Thank you so much for finding that picture. 

interestingly this 94/95 shirt made a return for some away games in the 95/96 season.

They were definitely sold with the ASICS badge at the time. I have one here!
The club did bring out a retro re release without said ASICS badge though. I recall seeing it in the shop and a few with them in the stands.

Sorry I meant they didn’t sell with the embroidered crest I believe 

Ok so more on this unusual shirt. It arrived by post today and is missing the ASICS badge at the front but it doesn’t appear that there was ever one there (see image). I did some digging and found a player issue jersey for sale also with the embroidered badge but with no ASICS logo. Check out what the seller had to say about it.

Can anyone verify that the ASICS logo was missing on the players shirts for Wimbledon away December 95?
 

I am very excited to have found a shirt with an embroidered crest from that era as I don’t believe they were ever sold like that though that is what the players jerseys had.

That design was used as a keeper’s shirt by Asics, the Asics logo presented like that on the reverse was popular with a lot of training kit at the time, the centred badge didn’t arrive on playing kit until the Uhlsport days so I would guess that this is a prototype or a manufacturing error ?‍♂️

Thanks Herbie6590

I thought it was Mark Hughes he was calling over 

Well it wasn’t Pogba anyway ?

Spotted this on eBay. Doesn’t appear to be a knock off. Exact same style as the actual jersey of the time except the badge is centered and ASICS logo is at the back. Does anyone know if this is legit? Perhaps a training jersey? 
I have no intention of paying the £100 for it, just curious

I had this done for my son. Named after Lucas Neill and Matt Jansen. 

Quality 

Such a shame players got suspended for finals 

Popped it in a nice little frame for now

Surprised by lack of immediate responses. Maybe more people are bothered by him speaking about Jack like a piece of trash in his book than I thought.

Really?? Quote please 

Personal favourite 

Thanks for the read
