Pearce, Coventry

With evidence on how my blogposts affect the Championship promotion race proving... inconclusive, I decided to make today's figure one that can't possibly have any bearing on it!

I didn't know that Pearce played for Coventry until fairly recently; I think it was his episode on the Quickly Kevin Podcast that informed me of it! (If you've never heard of Quickly Kevin, go and find out about it- the fact that you are on this page is a big hint to me that you'd love it!)

Not much more to say about this one, really. I think it was my first Coventry repaint?!

Ah, if you don't count this one, of course!

Spurs Yellow Hummel kit

Having received confirmation that a one of my deliveries has arrived in the Far East, I thought I'd make today's a Spurs post!

Hummel kits though *heart eyes emoji*

Love the number font; love the chevrons down the sleeves and side of the shorts... love the fact that I can post shirt numbers 8 and 9 next to each other!!

A couple of fine repaints, if I say so myself!

Leeds 06/07 Tonkas

I'm in a very good mood regarding Leeds, after last night's round of fixtures, so I thought today's post would be a couple of Leeds figures... from a relegation season!!

The 2006-07 season followed the previous season's playoff final disappointment, and it was only downhill from there!!

Admiral still manufactured the kits, which were sponsored by Bet24.

I chose Cresswell and Lewis for these ones, as 2 of the only players to emerge from the season with any credit- Lewis winning Player of the Year, if I remember rightly. (Healy did ok too, of course, but I already put his name on one of the 04/05 kits)

One of the things I remember about this kit launch was a Bet24 promotion that was something along the lines of a free bet that matched the cost of the shirt. I remember someone on one of the Leeds message boards suggesting using that bet on the 50-1 price of Leeds getting relegated. I remember thinking it wasn't a bad idea... but couldn't bring myself to do it!! Would have paid for the next season, and I could have had a pretty forgettable Leeds shirt into the bargain!!

Bardsley, Beattie and Cahill: Shefield United

Anyone who reads this regularly (anyone there?!) will know quite a few of my blogging nuances!

One is that I often post figures of a team that I want to lose that day, even though the 'every team I blog pictures of loses' theory only seems to work when I post a Leeds figure.

And another is that I have to have some kind of link between the figures when I post more than one picture.

So here, in matching Capital One sponsored shirts, are three players that represented one of Leeds' current promotion rivals... in shirt number order (habit number 3 exhibited in this post!)

Cracking! The Beattie is the most recent repaint, hot of the press, and finished within the last week!

Although I haven't blogged them all yet, I'm pretty close to finishing all the possible Sheffield United figures that were released (not including remodels, though I do have a couple of those in the pipeline!)

Keep your eyes on my Facebook page (I invariably post pictures there first) for upcoming posts of rarer Sheff United repaints, such as Alan Wright and Peter Withe!
