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? http://www.footballshirtculture.com/classic-football-shirts/ebay-1970s-saudi-arabia-admiral-shirt.html
