This just in and I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry. The last time I saw a shirt like this the person inside it was also wearing a giant cartoon foam head and oversized foam feet. Eddie Waring and Stuart Hall were commentating.
This is the kit we played in for a charity gig in Devon in 1978.
We fielded Frank Saul,Alan Mullery and Terry Dyson while the Hammersmith and Chiswick all stars had Tommy Cooper on the wing,Benny Hill at right back and Frankie Howerd at centre forward.
I don’t think it’s THAT bad… I remember hating last years’ home kit when it was released and it really grew on me. Can’t see myself paying £40 to parade around in this though.
That IS the 3rd kit.
Sorry folks

where was Dick Emery?
He was a bit rough round the edges by that point.Charlie Drake played in goal though.
Charlie Drake was rubbish with crosses and corners but was great with the low shots.
would have played Norman Wisdom in goal myself.
No him and Mr Grimsdale as centre halfs
I spose Pitkin would be a bench warmer then?
Tony Hancock as Manager.
The Movie of it is a Hancock Half Hour (should be called 90 minutes)
with the new kit do we have to change our name to Boca Penarol Young boys?
Wow scary! Could we conceivably be mistaken for Leeds United?
or real madrid…..
or Blackburn Rovers 1982
Wow! Or , Suck my bleu!, as the French would say.

Wait, surely you’d have to be paid that amount to wear this kit???
