See what I mean about the difference between player issue jersey badge and replica jersey badge? Home shirt was the same

what does the label look like ?

God bless Paul 

Just bought this shirt on eBay for a reasonable price and it caught my eye as I have never seen one for sale with an embroidered badge just like the players had. Is this a lucky find or were a certain amount of embroidered badged shirts sold as well as the replicas?

We only wore it for that one game at Arsenal didn't we?

What is it with one off shirts around that time ?!!

There probably wasn't a huge amount of difference in the money between the 2 jobs then. 

Actually you have given me an idea....

New thread incoming 

On another note, love this picture:

What was Le Saux critical of?

From memory the yellow keeper shirt was only ever worn that day.

Cracking shirt 

So I only heard about his recently. Apparently Carling jumped on the fact that the Rovers players were drinking Carling (sponsors of the premier league) in the dressing room at Anfield after winning the league. 
Does anyone remember this? I can’t imagine McEwans Lager were too happy. 
By the way, love that keeper jersey, never seen one for sale. 

Ryan Nelson hands down 

Radosav Petrovic 

I was reading an excerpt from Graeme Le Sauxs autobiography and he is quite critical of Mike Newell among others for during the 95/96 season.

it made me wonder what are people’s opinions of Mike Newell? 
 

Thanks

I'd be very careful, lots of fakes around. 

He wrote this on one of the listings:

 

 

"If your looking for a match shirt from a particular season or player I have most so feel free to ask".

 

That's never a good sign.

Yes. I saw a “match worn” Alan Shearer away shirt from 95/96 listed recently complete with champions badges however the number 9 on the back had an ASICS logo which I believe that seasons did not have

There’s some odd ones. Signed Tugay match worn for less than some of the lesser players. The price for the Makel one is probably down to the prem badges. 

You can buy those badges on eBay and all. I have bought two sets so far.

Link ?

eBay.co.uk

Shearer is a gentleman. I messaged him on twitter recently asking if he would sign a shirt for me and he obliged immediately and was so kind. 

... someone is selling off a ton of match worn Rovers shirts on eBay at the moment featuring 

Sherwood, Flitcroft, Tugay, Hendry, Samba, Neill, Duff, Salgado, Dahlin, Olssen, Mame Diouf, Diouf, Davidson, Benni McCarthy, Bentley, Savage, Makel, Robinson and more

Maybe age?

Anyone under 35 won't remember him the same - which is frightening to me as I remember him as clear as day. Someone born in 1988 would have only been 8 when Shearer left.

Shame for them 

Friedel

Neill, Samba, Hendry, Le Saux

Pedersen, Tugay, Sherwood, Duff 

Cole, Shearer 

Ryan Nelson very unlucky to miss out

He posed in the new kit & featured on the back page of the Telegraph but I have no recollection of him playing.

Thanks. Is there any pics of this available? 

Just wondering if Alan played any pre season games with us before the 96/97 season or went straight to Newcastle after the Euros?
