It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

Man Smith-Rowe almost had that LOVELY goal at the end of the half. Just rushed the finish after suprisingly getting thru the crowd. Disappointing but could be worse....Ready for the 2nd half to bring me hella pain!!!

That goal at the death may have just saved evertons season. Relegation would've been alot more realistic had they not salvaged a point. Their remaining schedule is wild plus they play Watford too

That’s at least the 5th game that Leicester has blown a late lead. Frustrating.
 
I just watched an IG video by a football shirt collector. He said they didn’t start selling kits until the late 70’s or 80’s. I wonder which club started the idea?

Quick search has conflicting answers. Maybe Spurs? but also Maybe Leeds?

Which was the first football club to sell merchandise/replica kits etc? | Notes and Queries | guardian.co.uk

It’s probably a difficult one to accurately pinpoint. There are definitely family pictures of my dad and his brothers in the Celtic hoops in what would have been the 60s. Equally then the kits generally were uniform over a number of years and didn’t have anything like manufacturers names, club badges or sponsors on them so it wouldn’t surprise me if it was a case that there would be no official replicas and that you’d effectively be buying unofficial replicas produced and sold by third parties. There is likely the beginning of a crossover into official replicas in and around the mid 70s when club crests and kit manufacturers began to become visible on the kits and they began to change more often. The guy claiming spurs is too late with the mid 80s, you can pick up official replicas from earlier than that still on the second hand market.
