I want a Laurie Cunningham shirt but I think he played before names on the back of the shirts, (tell me if I'm wrong).
I'd also like the yellow and green away kit.

I've got a nasty feeling I ought to say Kwame Ampadu, just because I'm a vicar and I ought to care about the poor, the weak and the misfits. But I'll go for Len Cantello, because he was a proper footballer.
The yellow and green kit always reminded me of a load of under-ripe bananas running round the pitch. Sorry.

My choice would be a number 10 shirt with Bobby Hope's name on it but, as betterthanbaird has already pointed out there were no names on shirts in those days and no specific numbers were allocated to the players.
So for example in the 1966/67 season the No 5 shirt was worn mostly by Stan Jones but later in the season by John Talbut and Eddie Colquhoun.
I rather liked that away strip of a few seasons ago; the navy blue one with the diagonal stripes in red and white.
Some days I'm top dog, most days I'm just the lamp post.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but surely Garry was asking which player you'd like to sign the shirt, rather than whose name you'd have on the back?

Jeff Astle or Laurie Cunningham or Bobby Robson or Ronnie Allen all for obvious reasons.
