The cult Rock Group movie SPINAL TAP sees bass player DEREK SMALLS (Harry Shearer) wear the Shrewsbury Town 1980-1981 kit

Derek Smalls can be seen wearing the shirt on a number of scenes in the film, including the infamous aiport scene where he enters through a metal detector

The back of the Spinal Tap DVD shows the bass player in the shirt

In 2003, I purchased a match worn long sleeve Paul Petts' shirt from a gentleman in Swansea.

It was seen internationally in the press and on Sky TV when worn by Luke Rodgers during STFC's press day proir to the FA Cup game against Chelsea

The shirt was then copied and has now been reproduced by TOFFS and was available with proceeds going to the Keep Your Eye On The Ball chairty

TOFFS have also produced a retro shirt from the 1960-1961 season when Peter Dolby scored twice to defeat Everton in the Football League Cup Quarter Final tie played at Gay Meadow.

This kit was worn until season 1962-1962 when the colar of the shirt had a blue stripe on the white trim

A retro 1971 shirt is also available at the STFC club shop at Gay Meadow
