When Carling saw a Tim Flowers sized marketing opportunity

[IrelandsRover]

So I only heard about his recently. Apparently Carling jumped on the fact that the Rovers players were drinking Carling (sponsors of the premier league) in the dressing room at Anfield after winning the league. 
Does anyone remember this? I can’t imagine McEwans Lager were too happy. 
By the way, love that keeper jersey, never seen one for sale.

Proper throwback photo that. Back when drinking was a huge part of footballing culture.

Wenger changed all that at Arsenal - once a few of the old guard came to the end of their time - and the rest of the PL followed suit. Eventually.

From memory the yellow keeper shirt was only ever worn that day.

Might be wrong but back in the day could only keepers capped by England wear a yellow jersey?

You may well be right - I vaguely recall something along those lines

There was an IFAB rule “ye olde back in’t day” but not quite as described...More club v country ??
