Yeah my Nan (God bless her) bought me Everton (H), Man U and Leeds (A) strips when I was a kid! Thank fuck it didn’t have any influence on me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 As a kid my first club shirt was an Everton one. Primarily because the sponsor "Nec" was then vernacular for 'getting off' and was different to the Man United and Liverpool shirts. Definitely cant read into that.

TheBrownBottle Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I’ll stick my hand up and say the only football tops I ever had as a kid were NUFC or England. There was a lad who had a pair of Spurs socks who we took the mickey out of. Mind you, when I went to high school there was loads of lads from other slightly more affluent areas (in Newcastle west end terms anyway) who seemed to support every team and have every strip going.

Kid Icarus Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) I had this because it was simply too fucking nice to not have But I also had these that I got on Shields road and for a while I thought I was a 'Holston' fan Edited June 9, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Having another English team's shirt from the upper tiers is completely unacceptable like if you're from the area. I never saw that as a kid apart from kids who actually supported other teams for whatever reason, usually parents (believe our school had one mackem, one Man City, two Liverpool - one legit and one glory). Other leagues is fine. My nana did buy me the whole Tottenham team set of those figures with big heads. But that was cos she thought they were England. But I support Scotland anyway so I told her where she could shove them (not in those words but I did get them sent back...).

As they say in Mexico...Aye Yi Yi.......I'm in a totally different county so having an Arsenal, Spurs, City, Man U, Stoke along with a bunch of international shirts should be ok. I got all these PL shirts for laughs when on video conferences with the UK management team. Yes, I have 4 Newcastle shirts which get to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viana Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 It's honestly a case of what you're exposed to when you're dead young. I remember my first game on TV being Man Utd v Spurs at WHL on BBC. I asked my dad how to get a Man Utd shirt - can't have been older than five. Fast forward six months and I saw his Newcastle sweatshirt in the tumble dryer and asked what it was. Next birthday I had a toon top with Ferdinand, and the rest is history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliMag Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I have many football shirts, but I have never worn one that is another English league team … I am shocked by the confessions on here…, but then, as a marginal who grew up in two different countries (California and Newcastle… yes countries) I would be all militant about this (it’s always the marginals).

There was a time in the early to mid 80s when Fenwick and Dixon sports started getting loads of "exotic" tops in, hence St Etienne, Nantes and PSV (Monaco was another one but I didn't have that). A 1983 lads kick about was quite the cosmopolitan affair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid 60s to 80s they were like the French version of Liverpool domestically. Couldn't seem to do it in Europe which was a shame until the late 70s when they started to reach the latter stages of the European Cup.
