CAFC PLAYERS THROWING SHIRTS IN TO THE CROWD?

I was chatting to a fellow Addick and he said he received a shirt from a player that had been thrown in to the crowd. The person couldn't recall the match as it it was almost 30 years ago. I've been going since Selhurst and I don't ever recall players throwing shirts in to the crowd.

My guess is it would have been pre player shirt sponsorship days, but I have no idea when that started.

If anyone does happen to have a shirt that was thrown in to the crowd by a player, then I would be very interested in purchasing it from you.

    I have the shin pads from Scott Wagstaff, a pre-season AFC Wimbledon game around 2010.

    I got Darren Pitchers blue/black away shirt from Plymouth away, for some reason in the last game of the season he had a long sleeved shirt on.

    He must have brought it out specially to throw i to the crowd as we wore red that day. He also scored a spectacular own goal!

    Any chance of a loan to the museum?

    Is it true that the reason this doesn’t happen very often is because most of the players would miss?

    Forest away, last game of the season when we were safe after beating Derby 3-0, I got Bob Bolder's but a little old lady grabbed it too.  I was too much of a gentleman to kick her in the shins and walk off with it while she was going 'Ow' so let her have it.

    I've regretted being nice ever since.

    Last game of the season 1990/91 we played in Red and White with Woolwich on the shirt. I have Pitchers shirt from that game as I was sitting on top of the fence at the final whistle. It has no.6 on the back.

    I remember Bob Bolder lobbing his gloves into the crowd after the play-off win at St Andrew's.  I've always wondered what happened to them

    I found a programme a few years back from the Selhurst days. In Lennie's notes, he said he had asked the players to not throw their shirts into the crowd, and if they did, please could the fans return them on account of the club not having the money to replace them.
