Diego_Sideburns Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Back in the old days footballers had proper first names - is it the first time we've had a Jason playing for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martjs Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Brilliant kit though. Brilliant Orange? Not quite... And I'm just over 40 but I'd struggle naming those players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundaryblue80 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 See now that's a tangerine kit! Not that excuse for one we have this season...although, in it's own way, it has grown on me! That'll be something to do with a couple of games in 5 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hometownclub Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Great old photo that Bob, although like I_C I'm 44 and only got about half a dozen of them. I did get Jim Bowie though, surely one of the tallest players ever to pull on a Latics shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsPete Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) Div 4 promotion team 1970-71. A kit that was Bates idea and overturned nearly 70 years of Latics traditions of blue and white - and 60 years of the distinct broad blue and white "thirds" shirt. Tangerine -nice as an away kit but a heinous crime as main kit. BTW - Jim Bowie was 6' 2", quite a way shorter than players like Ormondroyd , pogs etc. Players were generally less physically developed in those days. Look at keepers , a 6ft tall goalie was big. Alan Hopkinson a good England keeper just 5' 10". Rationing! Edited February 5, 2008 by LaticsPete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm 44 and got them all , I am a member of MENSA though Is that the same MENSA book club to which I refer when stuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Back in the old days footballers had proper first names - is it the first time we've had a Jason playing for us? In recent times Jason Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
