Excellent stuff. Remember all of those Bees players from 1983 and in that footage, you can see the class that Stan Bowles had. Fair play to Roger Wynter too....he had a brilliant tournament.
It's the pinstripe Osca isn't it? Just with a box around the sponsor rather than a band.
Yes, I've seen the one with the band, there is also a banded Adidas shirt with the Woolwich sponsor. Could be that particular shirt was worn in competition the following season?

I put a photo of that shirt up recently and no one seemed to think it was one we wore. The 5 a side tournament had a break between 86-92 so those Adidas shirts wouldn't have been used.

The Guinness six a side ran from 82-90, we wore the grey Admiral when we won it in 1988. No idea what we wore the previous seasons, but its a possibility.

Good point. Wonder if these tournaments ever appeared in programmes.
After our momentous win I remember waiting to buy the early edition of the next days Evening Standard as soon as it appeared and expecting a front page spread. Think I was a tad disappointed with the coverage.

That was the 84/85 kit which was the same as 83/84. We had no sponsor for the whole of 83/84 or the 1st half of 84/85, so you could only buy the kit without a sponser. Woolwich then sponsored us at the turn of the year, and that was how the kit was for most of the rest of the seasonwith the exception of the following games
Spurs Away in the Cup - First time I think wearing the Woolwich as sponsor and it was just on the shirt with no box or band
Spurs Home and City Away - Both on TV highlights and the kit had Sunley instead of Woolwich (I presume Sunley as owners wanted the extra exposure)
The following season the 85/86 the kit was slightly altered to having the sponser in a band, and this kit could be bought

There was no special kit for these tournaments. At the Soocer Six (88/89)the first night we wore the home kit, finals night we wore the grey (as there was a kit clash in all 3 games)
