[Albion] What’s this all about then - Albion shirt

[Papak]

On your point about sponsorship not being allowed on tv, I cant remember who the goalie was but we were playing Southampton when they had Keegan and it was being recorded for the Big Match. Half way through the first half someone realised that our goalie had a sponsors logo on his shirt and he was made to change it.

This one?

Graham Moseley between the sticks I think. I have the programme somewhere if that is the (Jimmy) case.

If memory serves , there was the club had several pre Wembley Cup Final photo shoots in that very kit.
Remember B-Cal we’re sponsors up until 31st May 1983.

That was my second-ever match I attended.

I think you're probably right

for some reason I had it in my head that it was Perry Digweed but that would have been the wrong time period

I always liked the TSB white away kit. Smart collars, nice material with a design in it, and subtle blur trim - the homes shirts looked like Tesco bags!

There was a report in The Independent back then, that described us as looking like "eleven tesco bags on acid". 25 years on and I'll never forget that line.

This looks like one of the shirts worn in the team photo taken before the FA Cup final. It was the same as the shirts worn in the final except that sponsors' logos were not permitted in televised games.

That’s how I remember it

I'd love us to be wearing something like this these days. Controversial maybe but never been a fan of the stripes and I've been around a long time. Still love the blue shirts with white arms.

I think the Sandtex stripes were the last half decent shirts. Since then, it's been a calamitous fashion show dahling.

It was indeed Digweed in goal (don't forget he joined us in January 1981) - pic from that game which appeared in the home programme for the Arsenal match a week later:-



And the Arsenal prog also confirms that there was a TVS film crew present:-



Impressive memory - I was at the game and couldn't now tell you a thing about it.

Thanks for that still got it then

I dont remember much else about the game if I'm honest.
I just remember my dad telling me what was happening. We were sat in the South so were right by it

A friend of mine just came into possession of this beauty, can anyone provide any help as to its origination?

I always thought you were the expert on all things on football shirts Phil.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

He tells me he got it via the mother of an ex player back in the day. Its definitely authentic Adidas and of its age. I’m guessing it’s a prototype that was made up in preparation for the 83/84 season but was not actually used.

So, who is the ex FA Cup squad player?

thankyou, and indeed this one was a taxing one. I knew it was genuine, but I hadn’t recalled seeing it in the team photos in the pre cup final period. I’d worked out that it must be a prototype/sample shirt, and then got to searching out the team photo in the cup final program. Interesting stuff though, I guess the player in question snuck one out after the photo shoot, it was his mum who passed it on to a collector I know very well, who lives in Aberdeen. It wasn’t Gordon Smith btw.

So, who is the ex FA Cup squad player?

Not my place to say, but he did play in both finals.

According to the comments on this tweet, it was Steve "Getting".

West Stand Lower, I stood on a milk crate (remember those things kids?) and was allowed to watch it on MOTD before bed - happy days!!
