Strangest place to see a city shirt

Recommended Posts

I am in Cairo at the moment, and on the way to my clients office this morning, I saw a local walking down the street wearing the Flybe yellow City shirt.

In a backwater town in Arkansas, a City flag from the 70s with ones from Coventry and Man City too. I went bck and added a promotion flag next time i passed through. Those were the days.

When we made the playoffs, I also saw a banner for City on a bridge between Billerica and Lowell, just north of Boston, Massachusetts.

Seen - Labuan Malaysia. That horrible wooly Colmans one that i think must have been after the tour. Sure it was fake, as the badge just looked odd. spent the next week tring to find a fake City shirt no less.

Worn - Dalyan Village China -32 degrees. The russian ladies loved it............:)

Dirty Scum shirt - Duala Camaroon. Sorry, but i just had to hurl abuse at the rather bebused native! and got the photo!

The strangest thing i saw. was in a Belgium chocolate factory, where they had a little collection of english football teams badges made out of chocolate. And along with Chelsea, Spurs, Aston Villa, Birmingham and Liverpool was Norwich''s.

I have an inversely relevant story;

I was in Byron Bay, Australia - Oz''s hippy capital and it''s most easterly point - wearing one of my City tops, when I was stopped by a City fan... he wasn''t wearing colours, but did have a massive City badge tattoo''d on his calf - does that count?

I saw one on Carl Robinson once.

Quite bizarre.

I wonder who gave him it?

I saw several people in Oz wearing Norwich shirts but the best one was someone I met at the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge - I was wearing my shirt and I met a guy also wearing one.

Wore a Norwich t-shirt when I went to Burma and a monk came up to me in the street and started telling all that he knew about the club - was very surreal but I was impressed with his knowledge especially given how little information gets in and out of Burma! Have got nice comments about the club from people in lots of the countries I''ve been to when wearing a Norwich shirt or t-shirt including China, Cambodia and Kazakhstan. Someone tried to sell me a fake shirt in Thailand but it was really really fake and the sponsor was several years out of date!

I was on a greek island (Thassos I think) and wearing my shirt, went into a local car hire place and the guy was a city fan with pictures up in the office etc.....gave me a good price on a mota.Also on the same holiday some geeza stopped me in the street after seeing the city tattoos on my legs, and showed me his.......

Went to Gambia about 15 yrs ago before it became more mainstream and left all my city t-shirts and shirts for the locals including a couple of rotherham shirts.

And finally.......I had my city shirt on walking into the HMV in Sheffield (about 1989 ish) and none other than......Wayne Biggins was walking out .....with a city shirt on.  He said something to me (probably get out out of the way - kidding) and we went about our business.

small world

A chap walked into the shop I was working in last year in Queenstown, New Zealand wearing a city shirt. It was rather surreal given my hungover state and six months outside Norwich. Was lovely to have a chat about Erik Fuglestad with somebody who knew who he was. Other less dignified characters were discussed and all in all an hour of my working day was gone in a flash.

I do a lot of travelling to the asrholes of the world with my job. Often wear one of my city shirts when out socialising.

Balikpapan and Surabaya, Indonesia recently. Now in Exmouth on the NW tip of Australia. Back to Norwich in 10 days!

[quote user="Danielt88"]I saw some bizarre dolls in a shop window in Budapest wearing football shirts and the only non premier league team one was Norwich.[/quote]Was there a great big pin through it?
