[Wales Match Shirts @WalesMatchWorn]

Can also confirm for those doubting the reason Wales wore their yellow away shirts in Dublin on Sunday, it was actually 100% because of the colourblindness issue that would of been caused by Wales wearing red against Ireland’s green.

Can anyone help Jolyon?

Rear is blank.

Thanks in advance!

@FACupFactfile no idea how to find anything out for why this would be awarded or given, and I thought you may have a better idea, we got this from an ex England coach and have no idea why it was given to him

[The NFC @The_NFC]

@Kappanitreal @FACupFactfile Not one I've come across personally but will RT to see if anyone can shed some light!

Yes we know this is a Wales shirt, but it was worn in an away game against Qatar in Doha in 2000.
