Given free before 'Quick Mick' put Burnley to the sword (God that was a great game, wasn't it?).

I've still got two of them.

The following year my wife and I go to the Dominican Republic on holiday and there's a bloke wearing one around the pool, I've got mine on too and we both stare at each other thinking we'd each had our hats nicked.  He was a Town fan from Skegness, small world really.

So where are your's and what stories have you got about it or them?

Fashionable around the turn of the century.

Now they are a dusty collectors item in most peoples wardrobes.

Could have got yourself a brick n'all. What happened to those......

I took mine to the Antiques Rerdsher (it was in Hull) and they said it was worth fuck all. I took it to Songs of Praise and they said 'It'll be a fucking miracle if that stadium happens, mate'.

Funny really. That's not something you expect the Archbishop of Canterbury to say.


Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

They were handed out to signify the first steps towards the building of our new stadium which conoco are the main sponsors - The Conoco Stadium (or would it have been Jet in the end?)

"3-1 To The Mariners" I hadn't even noticed they'd scored until the Pontoon stated singing that towards the end!

I rescued mine from a charity bag my missus had put together. She didn't understand my reason for wanting to keep it as I have never worn it. It's part of the club's history darling!!!

Mine is in a box in the loft, never to see the light of day again.

Remember the game quite fondly. Gazza taking stick the whole game really well, and when we started singing theres only 1 Paul Gascoigne he stood in the middle of the pitch and clapped the Ponny...........Legend!

No bird is going to let you climb onto her if you're wearing one, so I suppose they are in fact a bargain brand contraceptive as they were free!

Mine is in the garage (unworn), makes me sad to see it and remember what we had (perhaps we didn't appreciate it enough at the time?)
