Random question;
I have the original home kit from 92/93, but somewhere along the line I lost the laces.
Does anyone know if a replica retro kit is sold and whether replacement laces can be purchased? |  |

just a thought can you look on something like amazon for red laces that are the right length? |  |

I've never really found anything that would look right.
...you cant just stick any old laces in an original shirt of that quality. | |

It was my first ever kit so that's the main reason I like it, I prefer the red away kit with the black pin stripes but I lost that!! | |

Let me know if you find anything suitable. I too have that shirt and because I didn't like the length of the laces, I tied them off at the top holes on each side and cut off the bits that were dangling down.
I have a shirt which has the original laces, just not the right length! |  | | |

I have the replica shirt of the 1950's with the Town crest, the first strip I saw. Blue with white sleeves and a number 9 on the back, I am Ray Crawford again. |  | | |

Pre-dates Crawford. Tommy Parker maybe? I’ve got one of those shirts. It seems to have shrunk a lot - must be the detergent or something……….. |  | | |

Tom Garneys was the centre forward before Ray Crawford, a very underrated player who suffered a lot of injuries. I remember seeing John Elsworthy score his one and only hat trick against Coventry in October 1953 and could never understand why he did not play up front consistently again. Turns out he had a cartiledge operation which meant he was more suitable for a deeper role. Medical science was a lot more basic in those days, Elsworthy was lucky to get another eight or nine good years while Garneys retired quite early. | | | |

Didn’t Garneys play until his mid 30s? |  |

Thanks for that. I see Parker was a midfielder.
John Elsworthy had a very long career from 1949-65 making nearly 400 appearances. Garneys scored 143 in 272 games. These players are often forgotten with the passing of time, but shouldn’t be. They are part of the very fabric of the club.
Of course in those days, when you finished, you got a job. Elsworthy became a postman and Garneys did a variety of things and was a bank messenger by 1977. How times change. [Post edited 3 Sep 2022 9:34]
