Just like when Kennedy was shot, or Diana died, any individual having a remote curiosity in website  will try to remember the place they have been whenever they noticed Spurs stroll out on for the Wembley turf from the 1991 FA Cup ultimate sporting shorts of the length not observed sinceoohbefore you have been born.

Its hard to imagine now the uproar the Umbro shorts caused with fans and players alike more accustomed to your skimpier and snugger pairs that had grown increasingly skimpier and snugger due to the fact the 1960s. However the laughter soon stopped and within just a couple of years every team was decked out in more amply sized shorts and in fact have worn them ever given that. It was a truly trendsetting move from Umbro.

There was more on the kit than just big shorts though. The previous decades penchant for slick modernist V-necks was discarded and instead a proper old-fashioned button up collar was introduced to your baggy shirt. It wasnt all retro influence though as the fabric of the jersey featured a state of the art trademark 3D geometric Umbro shadow print. The socks switched from white to navy. Top this off with curved trim on the cuffs (adorned with the Spurs motif) and you have yourself a timeless kit.

Worn by: Paul Allen, Gary Mabbutt, Paul Gascoigne

Worn in: The dramatic 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest within the 1991 FA Cup Last during which the kit was given an early preview. The last, of course, was overshadowed by Gazzas reckless tackle that damaged his cruciate ligaments and marred his last game for Spurs.
