Take a look at the Good Friday game from 1986 - you've a job to tell the teams apart.'"
Correct, the kit for the final was chosen by the then coach Graham Lowe, he visited the Umbro factory and choose what he thought was a blue/white shirt only to be told by a club official who had travelled with him that it was in fact purple/white, he then discovered that Lowe was colour blind and couldn't tell the difference !!!
