More Admiral kits added

Posted by John Devlin

Thanks to Chris Oakley and Steve Dickie I’ve been able to add some new kits to the Admiral Kit Cupboard special:

If you know of any Admiral kits that are not on the feature then please let me know. I especially want to know about Bradford’s Admiral away kit.

Thanks!

    Thanks Mike – the links didn’t make it (you have to put them in the main body of the message) but I’ve pasted it above.

    I was scratching my head at first glance – how the hell did Saudi Arabia end up with an Admiral kit, then it hit me – Don Revie. He clearly had connections in the middle east (managing UAE after England) and was well know for brokering Admiral deals with Leeds and England.

    Wonder what the full story is?
