Quote: Pemps "Sorry to disappoint but I'd be very surprised if it was a players shirt at all particularly with a 40" chest.

That being said, you've got a classic Wigan shirt for £26

It isn't a players shirt, its an Umbro replica.

Andy Gregory used to do something with his shirt sleeves as well. It looked like he rolled them up inside, but he perhaps tore them off as well ?

Mind you Greg had arms like Popeye !

Poor parenting!!

I always thought the player shirts had the umbro badge sewn in black. I may be wrong.

The umbro badge was embroidered in red on the shirt front, and, on some kits, the sleeves.The 88 Wembley kit (IIRC), had some black embroidery on the umbro 'diamond'.

Hi I'm Roy and my specialist subject is Wigan kits of the 80's and their embroidery. icon_wink.gif

Nightmare. That's the RL equivalent of losing the Turin Shroud. A precious relic gone forever. icon_sad.gif

Please tell me you haven't also lost Radders shirt from the 2002 final? icon_lol.gif

You'll have to upload to photobucket and then link from there.

JJB first appeared on our shirts at the 1984 semi-final v York at Elland Road. Are they playing jerseys or replica's ?

Dave, are you sure it was the shirt he actually wore in the final, or his 'spare' unused jersey, I heard he took his match worn one home with him ?, if you lost the original then you should be shot at dawn !!!!! icon_lol.gif
