Yes, that's the one. Really liked that kit and was surprised it didn't feature on that picture. 

True to my word, here's a picture of the shirt you won:

 

Thank you. Will add it to my collection of t-shirts.

No it was Embassy Regal I smoked everything as a kid especially when buying singles Lambert and Butler, Peter Stuyvesant, 555 etc but never Regal all bloody horrible.

 

Thank you. I'm hopeless at identifying cigarette packets, probably from having never smoked. When I was a kid, my Dad said to me that when I turned 21 he would give me £100 if I didn't smoke. A lot of money when I was a kid. My Dad started smoking when he did his National Service with the Royal Engineers. Cigarettes were cheap in the army stores. My Dad would send me to the Newsagent to buy his cigarettes. A packet of ten was 13p. Different times.

Embassy Regal were very popular up North. Worked away in the early 90s and they were far and away the most popular brand.

Especially with Geordies I remember seeing a load of them with them stuffed up the arm of their cap sleeved t-shirts.

Look at the spikes on the top of that fence !

Having a look back to 1966/67 (makes a change from 1983/84, I suppose) !

Away to Forest away on Tuesday 30th August and it looks like our first ever competitive used substitute was as follows.

  Peter Houseman on for Charlie Cooke in the  84th minute of that match .

He was also our first competitively used substitute at The Bridge on Wed 14th Sept in the League Cup 2nd Round Match v Charlton.

He came on for Peter Osgood in the 20th minute and he also scored in the 77th minute. So was our first scoring substitute too.

Just brings back so many memories the loudest I ever heard the Shed was queueing up against Liverpool in 82. The sound of Hello Hello Shankley is dead Shankley is dead was really loud and aggressive and this was an hour before kick off.

 

Looking at the above picture I have never seen or ever remember that flag pole ? ! Am I having a memory loss moment !?

There would be a million tweets from self pity city if that was sung these days.

The top picture is of Roy Bentley on the left and, what looks like Stan Willemse on the right. He was a no nonsense full back, similar in temperament to Ron Harris.

The 'Bonnie Prince' back at the Bridge.

Thankfully he remembered to bring his Puma boots.

Yep, remember that. Terrible looking back. What observers of the modern game don’t get is that anything would be sung to wind up the opposition players or fans, and it didn’t mean a lot. Black humour, tongue in cheek, all for a laugh etc. 

When we have “ Chelsea Rent Boys” sung at us, is anyone really offended? Unless your actually a rent boy that is.....

They certainly are mate.

Not like the 'multi coloured slippers' the players of today wear !

A home game v Everton, from Jan 29th 1972.  

Brief highlights from a game away to Ipswich Town in April 1972.

^^Never seen that before. David Webb up front? And scoring twice!

Cheers.
