Cult, think you've got it there......kit was crap though wasn't it?

[SW]

Misty memories.......a year or so before it started to go tits up for the first time. Peter Densmore would get a game tomorrow.

The kit, not the worst usa, do you remember the red and black checks? The programme cover that season was even worse!

I think that the wide white band was adopted in order to carry the name of the club's first ever shirt sponsors: Quicks For Ford!

Ah, the programme cover from 1988/89......truly abysmal!

Was it a player jumping for a header in a red and black kit?

Ecky,

Yes, that's the one.

A sketch of an unidentified Alty player leaping like a salmon between two awestruck opponents.

Did anyone ever own up to having drawn the illustration?

I think to be fair there was a competition for schoolkids to design it, it just looked so tinpot it was beyond credibility. I used to cringe.

Some 30 year old is probably sitting at home reading this wondering why no one said!

In that case, I suspect that it was Ecky himself who drew it....

SW, kit was crap but you are right,   the red and black checks were worse!!

[markecky]

I am officially the worlds worst artist, it would have been a stick man if it was mine.

Although that may have been better.

Does anyone remember (apart from Pete Hughes) the Vic Robin cartoon that was in the programme in the 90's?  Oddest thing ever that was

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

Am I alone in detesting the blue monstrosity that currently masquerades as our away kit?
