Yes, it was. I seem to remember a fuss about their being markings on it which looked like the Talbot symbol as in the early days of sponsorship the BBC wouldn't allow sponsors logos on televised games, then they relented but the logos had to be smaller than the ones on the regular shirts. How things have changed. Little did Derek Dougan realise what he was unleashing when he got Kettering Tyres to sponsor Kettering Town. There was an uproar and he was told by the FA to remove it. He just removed the last 4 letters and claimed Kettering T stood for Kettering Town.
I remember Liverpool having to put tape over the Hitachi on their shirts when playing in Europe. How times have changed.
Last team to win the FA Cup with 11 English players was West Ham in 1975. You can safely assume that was the last time it will ever happen.
