WEAR THE SHIRT WITH PRIDE

[markhorrocks]

To All Members
I am an Orrell fan living in exile in Oxfordshire - have followed orrell since my Dad and Uncle Joe Horrocks took me to my first game in the late '60s.
I still wear my Orrell shirt with pride to all games that I go to (next being Anglo Welsh Semis at Coventry) and would now like to get hold of an original shirt - heavy cotton, collar, home strip - form the Dewi era of late 80's early 90's.
Can anyone help with this? - I will pay or make charitable donation.
Thanks everyone!

Hey Mark, did you have a son called Phil who used to play for the firsts in the 90's?

Anyway, I don't think you'll be able to find any retro shirts I'm afraid, the closest you will get is this seasons which is a horrendously poor quality yet expensive piece of tat. My best advice would be to scan eBay once a week or so, I have seen quite a lot of Orrell shirts pop up on there over the years.

If I find anything I'll let you know!

Thanks for your reply.
Phil was related-second or third removed nephew- part of the strong Orrell-based Horrocks clan.
I will keep looking too!!

Dont know where you got yours from Joe but the ones Ive seen plus the ones the players play in are of a good quality or is it that you didn't design the new black and amber one ?

[Joe]

;D no I was told they were pretty cheap quality-wise, I believe they're made locally right?
