I’m not renewing my season ticket
Lazy journalism
I was at Goole Town in (insert year of choice)
Whelan’s back pocket
That 1960s team were miles better than this load of …..Ermmmm what aboutWigan County
Wigan United
Wigan Town
Don’t be silly, NL.
Don’t you know that Wigan is a rugby town and football has no history in the town? ;)
….The same photo is used on the cover and given an amber(ish) tint……Didn’t goalkeepers use yellow shirts around that period? Green goalkeeper jerseys came a little later?
The cover photo on the book does have a sepia tone, but that I think is to make it authentic monochrome rather than give a hint of what he thought the colour was,
Before 1909 goalkeepers wore the same colours as the rest of the team, but in 1909 rules were introduced to identify them. At first they had to be red, blue or white, with green being added a few years later. Most teams adopted green because there were fewer teams in that colour to clash with, but obviously Boro would be red or blue. I have started work on colourising this group and am going with red for the keeper.
Yellow was restricted to the England national team, although League games in Scotland tended to have yellow keepers jumpers.
This only applied to the Football League, so some of you may have seen keepers in yellow jerseys in Latics’ non-league days.
Hi Bernard Good work. I think you have made George a happy man with that information :cheer:Indeed – I was beginning to have sleepless nights about it :cheer:
Bernard
You are an absolute star!!
Could you scan me that photocopy (if that sounds English!) please.
Thanks Bernard. That’d be great and save me some effort.
There is a possibility the colours were green, which would tie in with a nickname of the Linnets (Runcorn and Barry are also called this and wear green, and there is a Derbyshire Regiment called the “Green Linnets”).
Anything would be useful.
When I first saw the £900 comment I thought well that’s a pretty poor effort until I realised that was just what had been collected en route by the walkers themselves. Der!
What a brilliant effort by all of you, well done. Hope that doesn’t sound too patronising, it wasn’t meant to.
And who’d ‘ave thowt – LMB and JR now best buddies?! :) I’m almost hoping we get scutched by Villa so that normal service can be resumed ;)
we are not best buddies griff, we are something more than that, we are ALL a family, we may fall out now and again like all families do, but when the chips are down and we need to fight for something we are little wigan against the world.![/quote]
You’re not Scousers are you? :huh:
:P
First Suarez and now Dalglish have apologised.
One in the eye for those who defended the matter and said he’d done nothing wrong.

Hi Bert.
I am George ;) .
The card which I have myself actually shows them in pale blue shirts and white shorts, but from the stuff on the back I can pinpoint the game to 1928 when Boro wore black and amber hoops. As they were playing Bradford PA who were wearing red, amber and black hoops Boro were wearing their change strip. It is the previous two seasons 1924/25 and 1925/26 I need.
I will PM you my e-mail address. How do you know the 1925 photo is gold though? I’m coming across the possibility it might actually be green, but hoping for some confirmation. I’d still love a good copy anyway!
Change the fuckin record pal,sick of hearin about this subject.
sick of hearing it or secret liverpool fan where the truth hurts[/quote]End of the day who gives a flying fuck about the Manc and Scouse coonts?cos i dont. :cheer: By the way i enjoyed the trip to the SHITEBOK today. goodpost[/quote]
Disagree. Scum like Suarez and Dalglish’s pathetic see no evil, hear no evil stance bring the game into disrepute. As football supporters we should care about this. He should be given a ban by LFC.
He won’t be though.
On a cig card I’ve got somewhere, they wore white shirts and shorts in 1925 and a photo for 1925/6 has them in plain gold shirts and white shortsIf you’ve got a source for that Bert I’d be really interested
