Name the six ex-Leeds players in this photograph:

I know it won't go down well with some of the older posters on here who prefer these shirts ahead of modern efforts (mostly because they could hide their flab much better) but those kits are hateful.

Who likes short-shorts?

Back row - Mike Kuiti (?)
4th row - Lee Crooks, Daryl Powell
3rd row - Eddie Rombo
2nd row -
Front row - Dean Bell, Morvin Edwards

pop?

I don't actually recognise the wearer of the Leeds shirt.

Other than that, photo resolution only allows me to make out the faces of the front 2 rows at all (and those not that clearly). Is that Dean Bell on the far left of the front row?

Purely based on the tache and mullet (as that's all I can see) and the fact that it might be a Rochdale shirt, that is probably Mike Kuiti in the middle of the back row.

The Cas shirt looks round enough to be Crooksy.

That's all I've got, I was only a slip of a thing in 1992(?).

Correct, of course. Kuiti in Rochdale kit, Crooks (Castleford), Powell (Sheffield), Rombo (Dewsbury), Bell (Wigan), Edwards (Leeds).

And, yes, the huge majority of those kits are eye-watering.

Yes. Popular rugby league players.

That Leeds kit (beautifully modelled by the web-meister's favourite ever player) was significant as it represented their first departure from the then traditional design.

The one positive was that it also spawned the famous/infamous red and black kit used just the once in anger at Thrum Hall.



Unfortunately the Halifax Evening Courier was still B&W back then but here's a frame from that game featuring Vince 'ten thumbs' Fawcett:

Every month was Movember back then.

Nice to see all the clubs together with all the trophies - RL has never been equal, but it was certainly closer then than now IMHO.

That St Helens kit is rank

Who is the back left? That's not pretty.

Richard Russell (Oldham)

Full line up

That Doncaster shirt is about as bad as it gets. Big yellow smear on the right shoulder, who can imagine a smear on a shirt nowadays



Oh yeah the current England shirt!

I wouldn't be seen dead in that shirt!



Oh...

With the honourable exception of the Wigan, Huddersfield and Dewsbury shirts, the rest are terrible.

There's nothing wrong with the Leigh one but, other than those four, yes.

I'd only add Batley. The rest should burn. Burn in hell.

The Keighley one is fairly inoffensive.

Generally though, I could not agree more.

They should be viewed in the context of their time, and then swiftly forgotten about along with almost everything anybody wore in the early 90s. In this way the chances of pictures of my 10-12 year old self in luridly coloured shellsuits and sporting a "curtains" hair-do materialising are much reduced.

You got a problem with shell suits?



I looked pretty fly in mine...

Word.

I definitely had one which was mostly black, but with a diaganol shoulder banding in purple, pink, sky blue and lime green.

I feel ill just thinking about it.

Another sad thing is how many of the company's that sponsored the shirts are no longer in existence!

He was Southstander.com's favourite player you know.

The ball handling skills of Abu Hamza.

Still must hold the record for the shortest substitute appearance in sporting history. "Vince, you're on, 5...4...3..2...1 Vince, you're off".
