There were some dark and dreary times until...

So Simeone came along and kind of rescued them out of the fire.

But it's mad how we can associate different shirts with different eras and different, you know, positive moments in clubs histories and also very negative ones too.

I don't know, most famously the Man United Vodafone one where they had, I remember having that with the badge in the middle.

and that was kind of just that Mourinho Chelsea era and every time I look at that shirt now I go oh that was when we were on our perch and then we kind of got knocked off it for a few years that's how I kind of associate that I have to say as a someone who would like to wear a lot of retro jerseys I have maybe two or three Villa ones I have the Muller uh

Yeah.

And they're all mega money as well.

It's mad how...

the retro jerseys have become like this new kind of sense of identity.

Like even you see people, and maybe they're not sports fans or not even football fans as well, but they're going around wearing like classic football shirts and they're wearing them at festivals.

Like I know you were at All Together Now last year, like it was just wall-to-wall jerseys.

And even like, obviously you have the modern day jerseys, like the bows, the kneecap jersey, the Fontaines jersey.

but you even have like retro Pats ones retro Shells ones like it's become like this thing and obviously now classic football shirts How do you feel about these people coming onto your territory?

No it's not my territory I don't own it but like it's I think it's a pretty cool thing I suppose when I was a kid I didn't want to wear anything else other than football shirts so that's all I wore and I remember the very first football shirt I got was a Fiorentina purple one with a bat suit on the back of it and I think that is probably my all time favourite jersey yeah

Was the 7-Up or Nintendo?

I think it was Toyota at the time, actually.

Oh, yeah, a little later.

Yeah, it was just in the early, early 2000s.

I think it was Bashu's last season before he went to Roma.

We're going to look back and actually, I suppose now actually is a good time because all the World Cup jerseys are coming out now.
