Liverpool 3rd 1994-1996

 

Now this is probably the worst Liverpool shirt ever made, but to me no shirt can be considered ugly in my mind. To me the shirt is "unique" as you don't see any other shirts like it so I'm happy to add it into my collection of Liverpool shirts.

Somalia Home 2012

 

 

 

Flag of Somalia  

First international: North Korea 14-0 Somalia (1963)

Biggest win: Somalia 5-2 Mauritania (1985)

Biggest loss: North Korea 14-0 Somalia (1963)

Star player: Eisa Aden Abshir (Elverum IL) 

Because of the on going civil war in their country, Somalia cannot currently play any home games within the country. They've never qualified for a World Cup before and sit towards the bottom of the FIFA rankings. I do not have a picture of the shirt in action but I believe it will be worn in one of the upcoming tournaments. For me Somalia is best known as the birthplace for Olympic double gold medal winner Mo Farah and world wide singer K'Naan. It recently has been known for having Somali pirates which have in the past few years been taking people hostage for ransom money. 

I have to thank my German friend Sascha for finding the shirt and you can look at his collection by clicking on the link at the bottom right of this page.

Singapore Away 2008

The Singapore team in action. A few of them don't look very Singaporean to me.

Flag of Singapore

First international: Singapore 2-3 South Korea (1953)

Biggest win: Singapore 11-0 Laos (2007)

Biggest loss: Burma 8-0 Singapore (1969)

Most capped: Aide Iskandar (121 caps)

Top scorer: Fandi Ahmad (52 goals)

Star player: Daniel Bennett (Singapore Armed Forces) 

Singapore have only ever qualified for the Asian Cup once in their football days. It didn't last long as they went out in the first round but surprisingly they were the only team in the tournament to beat the 2007 champions Iraq. Singapore over the years have included naturalised citizens in their team such as Aleksandar Duric and Mustafic Fahrudin from Serbia, Daniel Bennett from England and Shi Jiayi and Qiu Li from China.

For the 2014 World Cup qualification they got knocked out in the 3rd round group stages losing all 6 games in a group of Iraq, China and Jordan in.

Liverpool Away 1995-1996

 

Shirt in action in a match against Aston Villa

This shirt was worn during the 1996 FA Cup final which unfortunately Liverpool lost. The final to most fans is probably more well known for the suits Liverpool wore on that match, if you haven't seen them before then Google Liverpool's 1996 FA Cup final suits to see what I am on about. It's still a nice shirt though and adds to my current collection of Liverpool shirts.

Thanks to one of my followers on Twitter I managed to get this shirt and he even threw in a pair of the home centenary socks so happy days. The shirt marks 100 years of Liverpool football club which you can see from the badge.
