Manchester City 81/82 Home

Manchester City 1981-82 Home Shirt – For Fans Who Think Mid-Table Mediocrity Is Just Part of the Ride 💙⚽

Slip into this sky-blue classic and relive a season where Manchester City finished a solidly unremarkable 10th in the First Division. Managed by John Bond (who had all the tactical genius of a bloke assembling IKEA furniture without the instructions), this team brought excitement, frustration, and the occasional moment of brilliance – much like a pint of warm ale. 🍻

Crafted by Umbro (with collars so sharp they could cut through a Bolton defender’s shin pad), this kit screams “We’re decent… just not title-winning decent”. The badge? A reminder that City were building towards greatness – albeit at the speed of a double-decker bus in rush hour. 🚍

Meet the Legends:

• Kevin Reeves 🎯: Top scorer (12 goals), penalty taker, and proof that you can score goals without looking like a superstar.
• Dennis Tueart ⚡: Winger, club icon, and the kind of player who made defenders rethink their life choices.
• Joe Corrigan 🧤: Goalkeeper, shot-stopper, and a man who saved City more times than a last-minute Tesco meal deal.
• Tommy Caton 🛡️: Defensive rock, all-round hard man, and living proof that footballers in the ‘80s were built differently.
• Asa Hartford 🏃♂️: Midfield maestro, passer supreme, and a name your dad won’t shut up about.

Honours? Err… none. 🏆❌ Unless you count surviving the season without getting relegated as a moral victory (which, as a City fan in the ‘80s, you probably should).

Wear this shirt to flex your “I supported City before the trophies” credentials. Perfect for re-enacting Kevin Reeves penalties, Joe Corrigan saves, or just shouting “Come on, City!” at your telly.

P.S. Warning: Wearing this near United fans may result in them reminding you how many trophies they won that year. Try not to cry. 😭🔴
