This shirt would have been worn rarely between 1979 and 1983. The shirt would have been used for games like Birmingham City and Chelsea away. The wearers of this shirt would have been Ian Wilson, Eddie kelly, Gary Lineker, Kevin MacDonald, Tommy English and Jimmy Melrose, dependent on the year it was used. As we used kit sparingly, it was likely it would have been used for all the seasons in question.

Jimmmy Melrose would have worn this shirt in its final year of life. Jimmy Melrose was a fans favourite, a busy forward who scored some good goals for us. A tidy player, who we swapped for Tommy English, who just did not perform for us. We swapped one of our favourite players, for someone who we look back on as being terrible. Gordon Milne made the exchange and said afterwards he did not realise how important Jimmy Melrose was to the fans until he had left. One of Gordon Milne's major errors while at the club.
