Re: The white Adidas shirt mystery
As people have said Blues on the roof behind the goal, around the pitch and SO crammed in the lower part of the Main Stand .
The kit - a shiny all white shirt with navy trim*- plus white shorts & socks was excellent, and the Shrewsbury element* could be true but our badge is so distinctive, and we were so close, I’d imagine we’d have noticed????♂️. Never seen again anyway…
The consolation for the display, which did NOT match the following or kit (& we often got tonked there), was Villa losing a 6th round tie at Upton Park to a seriously dodgy late pen????and MUCH crowd disorder too…
A couple of months later WE won 2-1 there, on a Tuesday night, v fellow contenders & FA Cup finalists, to clinch promotion… Famously, according to Curbishly Jim Smith then took the team & coach to an East End boozer that Curbs had connections with (brother?) and that was behind the up & down 3-3 with Notts County, when a win would have secured the title…
