When Shorts Were Short Christmas Special 2020

When Shorts Were Short concerns itself solely with what was actually a very narrow window in football history when teams wore, well, short shorts. The podcast takes 1954 as its starting point, when Umbro made their first England kit with shorter shorts, to 1992, when short shorts were all but finished as Umbro's baggy shorts for Tottenham's new kit, ahead of the '91 FA Cup Final, quickly caught on.

If the shorts weren't short, we just don't talk about it.

For the Christmas special, I'm joined by Barrie Tomlinson, Fleetway's legendary editor of Tiger and Roy of the Rovers, during the peak years of the old UK comics industry.
