A big thank you to @classicfootballshirts @cfsmcr for the Nike/Strongbow 01 shirt. As a younger lad I’d had shirts passed down to me, or shirts won in school raffles but this one was my first proper shirt that was mine(10th birthday present). I wore it till all the letters of the ‘Strongbow’ had come off in the wash. A modern icon shirt when you think of Leeds in the champions league and the players who wore it back then. And nobody better than the big Aussie Mark Viduka! (All I think of Is 4 against Liverpoolin this shirt) Buzzing to get it in a brilliant condition and with his name on the back. It’s not a match worn but they do have plenty of match worn and replicas from years back on their page/website from all around the world! So check them out and see what you can find. Thanks again guys! #classicfootballshirts #lufc #00/01 #viduka
