1993-95 BLACK AWAY
To most fans, this kit – our first-ever black number – conjures images of Cantona and his infamous spat with a Crystal Palace supporter, but Jonny associates it best with Lee Sharpe, who scored braces at Villa Park and Highbury while wearing it.
“It’s a lovely kit – it’s got a collar too, which is very ‘90s!” adds Evans.
1997-99 WHITE AWAY
One of our most cherished away shirts of all time is the white strip, with red and black trim, worn during the 1997-98 term and the following Treble season.
The list of outstanding occasions associated with this shirt is immeasurable – those thrilling draws with Barcelona, an 8-1 hammering of Nottingham Forest – but, for Jonny, one night permeates the consciousness 25 years on:
“I think of Ryan Giggs, Beckham, Roy Keane… but most notably the game at Villa Park, the semi-final, with Giggs scoring, taking his shirt off and legging it!
“I was at my mate’s house and I remember going out into the streets afterwards. We knew it was such an iconic moment, especially with Schmeichel saving the penalty from [Dennis] Bergkamp too.”
