Not a box set, plain red shirt and white shorts, but I had the proper socks, and they were what set the kit apart weren't they?

I remember getting a couple of pairs of similar type of Gordon Banks gloves and insisting they'd got the name wrong ! Once down the park they were the difference in my goalkeeping 'performances' well in my mind anyway !

Obviously too much Spuds focus but plenty on his time with us, mainly featuring Schnozz Sillet, but also Barry Bridges and Chopper. Highly recommended.
