TbagMcgraw Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 As a kid, always had a players name on the back of me new shirt for the season, without fail! Always loved getting me new shirt with the club catalogue enclosed. Anybody ever had any questionable players names on their shirts before? Oh, go on then, I'll start, I had this very shirt, with Tidman on the back....before I'd even seen him play that is! He looks like he's watching his parents have intercourse in this picture. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt-The-Owl Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) I remember being over the moon when presented with my new shirt with WARHURST 7. I wore it for 2 days solid. Then he buggered off to Blackburn the next day. I’m 41 this year, and haven’t felt hurt like it since.

Lord Snooty Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I remember him saving an injured bird that ended up on the pitch. Only thing I ever did see him save. But could tell the chap really cared about our avian friends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobness Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 98/99 yellow away strip with Jonk 4 on the back. Thought he'd be amazing, given he'd just featured for Holland in the world cup, plus it was only 4 letters! Bargain! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsMoveOn Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Only ever had ‘Hirst’ on the back of my shirt, but for me its something just for kids or teenagers. I wouldn’t dream of having a footballers name on the back of my shirt at the age of 45. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unpopular opinion but I find it so cringy when full grown adults wear football tops at matches 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when they quite obviously don't fit. I had HYDE on a shirt back in '93. The only time I've ever done it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 The club should promote these things more and actively offer player name shirts on the club shop site 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Don't remember ever having a wednesday player on the back of a shirt to be honest. Not sure why. Only time I ever remember having a name on the back of a shirt was an old Rangers shirt that a family friend bought for me that had McCoist on the back and also an England shirt with Beckham on it in 2006 I think.

@owlstalk Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 The club should promote shirts from bygone eras with player names on like Sheridan, Waddle, Sterland etc 2 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbagMcgraw Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 I also had Kuqi on my new cream away shirt, and Owusu on the home....and they both buggered off after about 3 games into the new season. Vividly remember wearing thatOwusu shirt away at Swindon on a baking hot opening day, when that skinhead nutcase came on the pitch with his top off and tried to attack Owusu!!

'This is the terrace' do some amazing products, and retro shirts, and we have a small section on our tripe online store (Mr Tom beanie hat for example), but its not prominent enough and we obviously don't sell the cool shirts, as Chansiri would want his sponsor on the front, and his name and number on the back!

Daryl Catpiss Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 1996 I fell in love with Marc degryse, and decided about 3 games before the end of the season to get his name on the shirt. Left in the off season. I've also got orlando trustful on my puma tango I know how to pick em 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcebSWFC11 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I was buzzing when we signed Darko Kovacevic. Had that on, but it was a kids size shirt & the letters were a standard size. His squad number was 18, it didn’t fit so I just had 8. A few people made confused comments to me about it so I stopped wearing it & never had a players name on again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynnb Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Good quiz question( not Wednesday related), which players had the same name on the front and back of their shirts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
