Wow - purple and green That kit was the worst I have ever seen by a country mile, it was much much brighter in real life, proper violet and lime green, fucking yuck. |

I was actually at that game but I think the the part of my brain which contained that memory just shut down as a defence mechanism  |

It was absolutely vile.
It was that season that Shitty did Liverpool at Anfield, this video shows the kit in an even worse light....

I believe that F.A. Cup game was played around the time we played them in the Premier League. Those days when a kit lasted more than one season. My missus went to that game at Anfield... She also still has the purple shirt.
I shall use the purple shirt for a bonfire night effigy if/when we have kids.

20 years ago today we beat City at home 2-1, with Leroy Rosenior giving away one of the more obvious penalties in all my time of watching the Town. Brian Marwood scored his only goal for us that evening as well....
...and it was a beauty! I think we had a good crowd of around 13000 in that day too. |

I was there with a couple of relatives of my missus who were city fans. Started taking the piss as soon as they got on the pitch in that godawful lime green and purple kit and didnt really stop taking the piss all night. Which was nice.

And in the Newcastle clip earlier the commentator says " a young Mr. Poll from Berkhamstead". When did we stop hearing where referees were from? I recall George Courtenay from Spennymoor and Lester Shapter from Torquay. |

Yep, and Kelvin Morton of Bury St Edmunds - my parents in-law's house actually backs on to his - FACT! Kevin Lynch of Knaresborough Roger Milford of Bristol I'd always thought it was Graham Poll of Tilehurst for some reason, latterly Graham Poll of Tring Then of course there was the most famous butcher from Wolverhampton of all time - Jack Taylor. The only current one I can think of is Andy D'Urso of Billericay. |

Roger Milford was a good un and reffed the games with a smile on his face.
Joe Worrell used to get pelters off our crowd

Was he the one who lived on Gladstone Street? My parents bought their first home from a referee who lived there but i do not know his name. |

It's quite possible...he was around in the 60/70's but of course never did Town games. Gladstone Street would have been handy for early pitch inspections, mind. |
