Not the goalie, not the golf course component, but the colour.
This is just a "Hmmm..." moment while awaiting the traditional Xmas Early away nod from the office manager; nothing to get too excited about.
I've noticed that green is becoming a more "popular" colour in the kits of the top teams these days yet I'm struggling to recall more than a single incident of it among the colours of teams home & away kits in the pre-Premier league days. The shorts of Norwich is about as far as I've got.
It's obvious to me that I'm suffering a severe and terminal memory loss, so can anybody help remind me who had green as a component of their outfield kit in the days prior to the Premier league being formed?*
* - no shiny new sixpences for the winners, I'm afraid - cook's stuffed them all in the Xmas pud.

Plymouth Argyle have always played in green.
We went top of Div 2 when we beat them at their place in 1990

You try and buy green Christmas tree baubles. It's so out of fashion it's ridiculous. Been everywhere for them.

I certainly remember Liverpool having green away kits, and that yellow/green Man United away kit. Didn't Villa have a green and black stripe away number bat one stage?

Whereas down the years, and possibly nowadays, green has been the predominant colour top for goalkeepers

wasn’t it a gentlemens agreement between all of the club chairmen, a bit like the one were Arsenal would never sign a West Ham player?

Green the colour of choice for catholic Scottish clubs and country bumpkins.certainly not city slickers like ourselves..
Although I do recall Oldham I think it was running out iat Upton park n a horrid luminous light green in the 90s
So how about a nice dogshit brown kit like the old Coventry away number from the seventies ?

The only things I remember about Coventry city in the seventies was the shit kits and all the invalid carriages parked up in the corners next to the pitch at Highfield road.

Ah! Green & Black stripes!
Had a Subbuteo team in that kit - always thought it was a "made up" strip.

Not green but a kit question anyway. Anyone know the reason as to why both West Ham and Arsenal both wore away kits for the FA Cup Final in 1980?
