It's weird how you associate things with certain memories. I remember this shirt because I was watching us on Sky playing Hudds away at the start of the 2003 season, and the War in Iraq was started that night (with the infamous 'shock and awe' campaign). I remember flicking between SkySports and Abu Dhabi TV News to see the latest! And I think Stanly Gene knocked Dean Gaskell out cold (or maybe that was a later match).

EDIT: It was London away on Sky. The Hudds match was the previous month.

I think you're thinking of the one nat wood kicked love out of 3 giants players, they got promoted and were touted as this rough side, then he dispatched 3 of their rougher forwards

Yes I remember it was a rough old game.

I also like my one shirt wonders like the black shirt with the silver in it. Forget the year.

Why? It would look stupid. Why do some people demand that people prove to everybody else that they aren't homophobic or racist etc. Just get on with being a good member of society and you will be ok.

On the wire shirts. I was a fan of your 2013 p&b stripes and the team want half bad then either.

I think Adam Doyle would politely point out that being the second fattest behind Owen Craigie doesn’t necessarily mean he was anywhere near the Buddha-like portliness of Owen Criagie.

Having said that, at least Craigie could play a bit, even if it was only for 10 minutes a game.

To be honest I’m not entirely sure that would look that great on the shirt.

It would be far from the worst one we’ve had, mind…

Just a bit of trivia

The Rainbow TV programme theme song was sung by Hugh Fraser, who played Captain Hastings (Poirot) and the Duke of Wellington (Sharpe) on the telly box.

I liked the Omega shirt, that was made out of a comfortable fabric to wear. Sadly, they've been made out of the shiny, horrible soccer shirt stuff, since.
