Lazio / 93-94 / Home

I’ve always loved Italian football, and when one of my favourite English players, Paul Gascoigne moved to Italy my interest grew even more. Umbro’s Lazio shirts were fantastic, and this one is my favourite. Watching football Italia on Channel 4 every Sunday are some cherished memories.

Fluminese / 90-91 / Home

I’ve always loved the early 90s Brazilian club shirts, especially the ones with the Coca-Cola sponsor. This, for me, is my favourite one. You can't lose with the Fluminese colors.

Crystal Palace / 96-98 / Home

One of our best home shirts in my opinion. Twinned In design with Bayern Munich. I loved it the moment I first saw it back in 1996. A shirt that brings back mixed emotions. The joy of promotion with a last minute winner to the disappointment a year later being relegated. It will also be remembered for the signing of Attilio Lombardo which surprised everyone

Crystal Palace / 88-89 / Third

This is a special shirt to me because my dad came home with this one for me back in 1989, and I’ve treasured it ever since. It was worn during the game by our captain Geoff Thomas. I’m not sure how many times this shirt was used, but it wasn’t many. Bukta made some wonderful shirts for Palace from 1988 up to 1992.

Napoli / 87-88 / Home

I don’t need to say too much about this shirt. It’s iconic and was worn by one of the most iconic players of all time. Diego Maradona was just unbelievable during this season, and it would be hard not to include this into my Top 5.
