Hated it and still do.Lost to Liverpool in an FA Cup Qtr final in it.Think we wore it once more in an away at Forest where they had no central defenders played Keane and Clough there and we lost 2-0.Cut it up for dish rags.
I still have mine, but for some reason the material use to make me sweat more than others...maybe it was just me, I was a teenager at the time.
The kit was actually donated to the Aston Villa Old Stars as it was thought to be unlucky for the first team

It was a crass blatant cash in by Ellis and it crashed and burned. And burning is what should happen to every single one of those fucking shirts. It wasn't as if it was some sort of design classic either it was an abomination of yellow with a claret motif printed on it. It's utterly disgusting and makes me physically retch whenever I think about it. If you've got one and are wondering what you should do with it, burn it the next time you have a bonfire. If you have the courage to wear it, don't be surprised if your friends shun you and people fart in your direction. In fact it should be added to the items to be banned at Villa Park list. One of the worst things to happen at the club during a time when things were generally positive and moving in the right direction.And breathe.....
