A different theme to the questions this time, I’ll post the answers on here tomorrow morning;-
60s. Can you identify this scorer of a City goal against Leicester during this decade from the home kits he would have worn while playing for his different clubs? This man would have worn white shirts and black shorts at the start of his spell with his first club before they switched to red shirts and white shorts for the rest of his time with them. He would have worn claret and blue shirts and white shorts at his second club before they switched to white shirts and blue shorts. It was blue shirts, white shorts at his third club and then all white at his fourth. Next up, he wore blue and white stripes and white shorts before finishing his career in amber and maroon.
70s. This scorer for us against Leicester in the seventies played in red shorts and white shorts at his first club, began wearing blue shorts to go with his blue shirt at his next club, before switching the shorts colour to white, wore a white shirt and the same colour shorts during a very short, and temporary, stay at a third club, before it was white with black shorts when he moved to another team on a permanent basis. He wore white with red shirts and red shorts at his final side.
80s. It was blue (with white and yellow) shirts and blue shorts first for this scorer against Leicester before a change to a plain blue shirt later on during his time at his first club, while he wore three different combinations of blue and yellow in his four years at his second side, He wore red and white stripes with black shorts during his one season with his third club, while it was white shirts and black shorts he wore at Ninian Park when he returned while playing for his final club.
90s. There were no matches between the two clubs in this decade, so can you name the player in the picture? He played for his country’s Under 21 team and made a total of thirty four senior appearances (more than half of them being for Leicester) while playing for five different sides during a seven year spell in this country.
00s. He scored for us against Leicester during this decade and wore a red and black checked shirt with black shorts for a while at his first club (for whom he had three separate spells), but I would say that the biggest moments of his career tended to come when he had a white shirt on (he also was wearing white while enduring a scoreless spell of twenty five league matches at his fourth club mind) . He wore all blue while with us and did the same with the next club he joined on a permanent basis, but was back in a white shirt at three of his last four clubs – although, by then, his all too brief glory days were well behind him.
10s. The first decade or more of this scorer for us against Leicester’s career was played exclusively in a blue shirt while featuring for four different teams. He finally went into the red while at his fourth club and stayed there for a very brief spell with his fifth one. After that though he has returned to blue with two clubs whose shirts are a combination of that colour and white.
