I would get one with McGrath on the back I would need a bigger one than the one I had because I've put weight on since I had the last one.

Numbers 9 or 8 would have been great too - Deano and Garry Parker

The only shirts I have are my two faves, original from 96 season and retro from the mid 70's as the original I had (which I don't have anymore) wouldn't fit me, but in fairness I was 8/9 at the time.

How times change, in order to get a number put on the back I 'borrowed' one of my mum's bed sheets and cut a number 7 (Ray Graydon) out and a got a mate's older sister to sow it on the back of the shirt - just wished I had threw out the sheet afterwards as my mum went mad!!

But like the sound of this new retro shirt, might have to get it for the kids tho!

Wasn't the 1992 shirt a nod in the direction of the 1890's style of shirt? So if this one comes out it will be a replica of a replica.
Now can I have my prize as pedant of the year? ::)

In addition, the 1992 shirt was before squad numbers and, therefore, wouldn't have had the player's name on it.

First time I've been genuinely happy about a shirt release in a couple of decades or so. Can't wait to see it.

I still have the original one and it still fits. I obviously haven't piled on too many pounds since I was 17.

You disgust me.

Diadora put out a lovely range of retro gear when they were our kit-makers. Names and numbers of Mortimer, Cowans, Shaw, McGrath and Platt old-style shirts, all claret, white or blue. They looked the business.

Think they were done by hummel as opposed to diadora. I got the white long-sleeved McGrath one. Quality shirt, but it shrank on the first wash and I got a bit fat, so only really wore it out once!

Sorry, you're right, Hummel. What size? If you still have it I'd be interested in buying it.

Sorry.Slightly bigger beer gut but I suppose I can't complain about that. I have put the hours in.

My favourite kit was the first one I bought in 97-98 until some bastard stole it in darwin back in 02.  I'm still livid.

Tragically I still have the original 92/93 kit (c/w sew on premier league badges).  I was only 11 when this kit came out but is still fits now.  I'm hardly slim now but it shows how chunky i was as a kid !!
