WeegieTon Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Gave up when it got over £40. If you have a problem with me, text me. If you dont have my number then you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoceanfloor Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I put the second of those tops on the oldfootballshirts.com website after winning it at the Gourock Morton Supporters / Supporters' Trust auction. It has a number 9 on the back and the SFL patches I always meant to ask if any if you or Sean knew who wore it and when? Is the number on the top black or white? The red pin stripe Pony top was actually QPR's strip which was amended with a Morton badge in the middle of the shirt if I remember rightly. Don't think they were ever officially launched as a replica strip. QPR have never had a strip manufactured by Pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeegieTon Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I can't help but think Ive saw that before but just cannot remember where and when. I also have a vague memory of some (very small number not them all) of the Morton replica pony tops (I think) having a very thin red pin stripe through it (top of the white under the blue), again I could be wrong but can't seem to shake it. The red pin stripe Pony top was actually QPR's strip which was amended with a Morton badge in the middle of the shirt if I remember rightly. Don't think they were ever officially launched as a replica strip. Both correct. It wasn't brought out. I think it was worn around the time Alex O'Hara was playing for us. Was a great top. I had the QPR version with Guinness as the sponser. If you have a problem with me, text me. If you dont have my number then you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me.

Real_Hoops Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I was in and about the Club regularly around that time, I was shown it and told it was a prototype and was likely to be the next home top. However it never materialised and the nearest thing we got to it was the hoops with a black trim between the blue and white. This is the only pic I could find Make you wonder who the seller is then. *careful, or I'll close down the Internet*?

Guest midTONs Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Make you wonder who the seller is then. *careful, or I'll close down the Internet*? If I was selling that top I would be annoyed with that comment as I'm sure it could put off potential bidders, I believe the lad selling this top lives in Nottingham and is a Notts County fan, I've shared a few emails with the lad and he comes across as a genuine lad whom I believe was honest with his responses to me. I believe he registered on this site last night but was having a few problems posting so we might yet here from him in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest midTONs Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 The red pin stripe Pony top was actually QPR's strip which was amended with a Morton badge in the middle of the shirt if I remember rightly. Don't think they were ever officially launched as a replica strip. The QPR top you are thinking of was made by Adidas and had thicker red pin stripes at the top and bottom of the white hoop, the one that sticks in my mins was a really thin red pinstripe at the top of the white hoop, I'm almost positive it was a Morton top and there was only so many of them made. I also recall seeing retro Morton tops back in the late 70s early 80s from the same year with thick hoops and others with thinner hoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyncfc Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hello guys! I'm the seller of the shirt and am pretty disappointed that some people on this forum are willing to think i'd bid up my own auction. I'm a 100% genuine seller and have over 1000+ positive feedbacks. About the shirt, I picked it up probably around the year 2000 from a sports shop in Nottingham. I also bought the Dunfermline shirt i also have on Ebay just because they were both made by Avec who at the time made my teams kit (Notts County) and thought they would go nicely in my collection and were a bit different to the other shirts in my collection - Barca, Juve etc... I found the shirt in my loft on Sunday and decided to list it on Ebay as i'm having a bit of a clearout as have a baby on the way in February and could do with the extra money/space, I never expected it to reach £10 never mind what it's at now. I'm completely in the dark about how a shop in Nottingham ended up selling Greenock Morton shirts and probably never will find out. I've emailed the club to see if they can shed any light. I will try to answer any questions if you have any or would like some more pictures. All the best Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoceanfloor Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'm actually up in Inverness for a week so can't check but I'm pretty sure it's Black. If it's black then it will be the strip brought in part way through season 00/01 (01/02 had white numbers). I'm 99% sure that we started wearing it in October/November 2000 (can't remember which game it debuted though), which means that it was worn by: Stephen Whalen Garry Tweedie Paul Mcdonald Ross Matheson Stephen McConalogue Darren Davies (twice!) David Macgregor (again, twice - Ally Maxwell didn't really use a conventional numbering system...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsTON Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 That strip is now at £77 on ebay. That's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Mess Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Is the number on the top black or white? QPR have never had a strip manufactured by Pony. fair enough, as midTONs pointed out it was Adidas. The QPR top you are thinking of was made by Adidas and had thicker red pin stripes at the top and bottom of the white hoop, the one that sticks in my mins was a really thin red pinstripe at the top of the white hoop, I'm almost positive it was a Morton top and there was only so many of them made. I also recall seeing retro Morton tops back in the late 70s early 80s from the same year with thick hoops and others with thinner hoops. What i was trying to say was that the strip some fans were wearing was the QPR strip modified with a Morton badge. If some were wearing the Morton strip they must have got them from the club/players themselves as it was never put on sale as a replica strip. I don't think the strip even lasted 2 months before the Pony one I have came out. We are a MEAN diddy team!!! SITTING ON THE FENCE!!! m1874 Blog<<<..V..>>>Ernies Blog GMST make your own mind up.

craigyncfc Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Here is the response I got from the club: Dear Craig, Thanks for your email. The shirt you have was not an official club strip, and was never launched, registered or worn by Greenock Morton Football Club. The Chairman at the time had initially looked to launch a 125th anniversary shirt, but this was never done due to the financial position the Club were in at that time. We can only assume, therefore, that this would have been one of the samples supplied by manufacturers while this idea was being floated. The above information was provided by our Kit Manager, who was with the Club at the time. We hope this is of help, Gillian Donaldson Greenock Morton Football Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real collectors piece in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
