Worst names on the back of your shirt.....

[1980]

I'm not sure about on the back, but us Millwall fans found it amusing to see the few hundred spotty Crystal Palace fans that used to dare visit the Old Den wandering around New Cross nervously with Virgin written across the front of their chests.

I used to get a cheap Juventus shirt every summer on holiday in the mid 90s, so it started with the likes of Baggio and Ravanelli leaving. I turned my hand to Blades players getting Deane 10 on my home shirt and Fjortoft 9 on my away shirt at the start of 97-98.

The worst choice I made was Smith 19. I didn't even like the shirt, it's not a very interesting name, he wasn't that good (just scored a few goals early that season) and then buggered off to Huddersfield. I think after that I just stuck with my own name and my favourite #15.

Edit - remembered some others, notably Kabba who was barely ever fit after I got his name on my shirt. I spent a long time weighing up the embarrassment of having Thirlwell on my shirt versus getting rid of him.

I made the same mistakes with Martin Smith and then Kabba on the shirt. Can't really remember having any other names. I definitely didn't entertain the idea of Thirlwell though.

In fairness I though Smith was a good player in poor side.

Did you fuck any of them then?

Does anyone remember the crazy bastard with 'wiessmuller' on the back of his shirt who sat on the kop? He'd stand up and do the tarzan cry during quiet moments of the games in the mid 90s

Or was I just drinking too much back then?

I remember him too. Also recall the guy with the trumpet / cornet ? who used to play the GCB song at various quiet points. He was really shit but it was great because of it!

Yes, very iffy.

Who was unfortunate enough to get 'Smeets' on the back? There's at least one of you out there because you used to sit on the JSS.

Sadly not. You'd have to get near them for that, and this is a set of fans who arranged a police escort to their own ground from their main pub last time we played them.

Been to the Old Den twice - never been to the new one
Got pelted with coins both times at the Old Den but never seen us lose there
One was a 4-1 win and the other a 1-1 draw
Only one of those occasions we had some additional air conditioning applied to the coach we were travelling on.

Friendly bunch

BTW if your forum name is your birth date then you were most likely still in nappies at the time those games were played

Who's this Wawaw geezer that's signed for the filth?

Every snort beast you see has his fucking name on the back, he must be a reyt player.

Or were you one of the two lads who used to sit on John Street a few years ago, one with 'PESCHI' and the other with 'SOLIDO'

The worst name I've ever had on the back of my blades shirt was 'Football manager' from a couple of seasons ago.

I bought the Mrs a replica shirt a few years back had she had a bit of a thing at the time for some Welsh striker, needless to say that shirt hasn't had much of an outing since. I've never been one for Names on the back personally but I do get number 11 on the back as that was my number when I played football myself as a Left Winger (Roy of the rovers thing). I have contemplated wearing full kit including shinpads under my clothes on matchdays on many occasions, you know just in case like.

My mug says "DIVISION ONE" - as true today as it was 25+ years ago when I bought it.

I think it's the noise they make when they're not grunting.
