We always put one of our postcards in with each order, this month it’s been the Baggio “Il Divin Codino”.

There’s a new postcard ready for April orders & we’ll try to do a new one each month, possibly reprinting a few old designs.

Whoever coined the phrase “less is more” clearly wasn’t around in the 70s/80s to see the enormous French shirt sponsors.

Magnifique! 🇫🇷

Ludovic Giuly 🇫🇷 Lyon, 1996.

Underrated player. Loved watching him at Lyon, Monaco & Barca.

@TheTrefoilMan Was great to watch him at Parma. Never played for Sweden again after the move to Leeds in ‘95.

Great to see Lens back and top of Ligue 1.

Les Sang et Or (The Blood and Gold) are a cult club for us, with incredible support.

Anyway, the Lens ‘80 sweatshirt is available from https://t.co/d67RvPYeO1 store.
