Funny, he calls it the classic Sabella shirt...I always thought of mine as the Bob Hatton shirt.

There are quite rough places/people in Harrogate and I should know

 

[Blade56]

I've got a signed England shirt vs Belarus (I think) tucked away in the back of the wardrobe, wonder what that's worth

Great shirt, such was my 'high' post Charlton on Sunday I treated myself to classic 'Brian Deane 92 shirt in anticipation of donning it at wembley. I had one at 14 but In them days they never had a sponsor on, which I so wanted, and to be honest have never seen one, so imagine my delight when I picked this up. I'm pretty sure it's very rare as I have never seen one before.

99.99% Blade, I still have my original shirt like the one in your picture, mine does not have the sponsor on it. My wife bought it for me back in 91 or 92.

Not been up to do the quiz in months to be honest... too many matches these days to be going out on a school night

How you getting on up there? Keep threatening coming to Harrogate for a neb round, see how the other half live

Nice collection, Yes I had the same non sponsor one in 92 but the felt badge soon peeled off after a few washes,,, would be interesting to judge its rarity as I can't recall ever seeing a 92 shirt with the sponsor on! But fellow blades might be able to have an opinion. My fave ever shirt is the thicker stripped 93 shirt, I remember my dad sending it back to the club shop once as it had a white stripe as the main middle stripe, and the first team shirt always had red as the middle stripe, which was a big deal for me as I spent my hard earned paper round money on replica shirts. He stated in a returning letter "I don't think Brian Deane would wear a random printed shirt do you" ha classic

I had this shirt (replica, no sponsor) when I was 13/14, wish I knew what happened to it. Maybe the kid in batman begins ended up with it

Well last night I went round to a Wigan supporters house and I thought I'd take a bit of Blades wembley /semi final stuff with me.

In the loft I found

a bottle of beer commemorating Sheffield at wembley in 92
a white shirt I bought for the 97 play off v Palace
Championship play off scarf 2009

and a cheap shirt I bought at Old Trafford in 2003 saying

SHEFFIELD UNITED
There is only one United at Old Trafford, FA Cup Semi Final
...and the date Sunday 13 April 2003.

I hadn't realised it will be exactly 11 years to the day/date since we were last in a Semi Final

holy mother of hell are all those from the right era and not reproductions?

 

[S5Blade]

Ahhh I loved the gold and purple away shirt! Would love to get my hands on one of them bad boys

 

[mattbianco1]

Only the two in the top right are reproductions (Yellow/Brown stripes and it's Home kit). The rest are all legit.

I was born in 1984 so set a target to get every shirt from my birth season to-date. I got a few from before my time too. The one in your avatar and the two reprorods' discussed above.

The only shirts i'm missing now from the 1981/82 season to present day are:

2000/02 AWAY
2005/07 AWAY
2012/13 HOME
2013/14 HOME

 

[Grecian2000]

Great how certain shirts automaticall remind you of certain players ,clockwise I would go Bourne

Did that one have a shit stain on it?

 

[mattbianco1]

Just thought 23 home games in a season - i could wear a different home shirt to every game next season... That's a bit sad init ?!?

 

[Grecian2000]

Spot on. Good shout Sitters

Bloody hell, that one would have to be covered in shit not just an odd stain.

It really is a nice place to visit, lots to see, plenty of pubs. Easy day out too if you don't fancy booking a hotel overnight. Knaresborough nice too, ask Raul

 

[Northyorksblade]

I assume that's the one near the old bowling alley/ Haven't been there for ages. May just pop in now!
