24. Perhaps the most unique Norwegian player ever is Erik Mykland. A true bohem who did things in his own manner. He was fantastic. In every way. This shirt is match worn from his time at FC København.

23. My favourite player at Old Trafford in my lifetime. His vision, his quality of passing, and the way he struck the football was special, and there is a good reason why he’s often mentioned as one of the toughest opponents players have faced.

22. For me, this is the most special shirt in my collection. I think it’s the prettiest kit Norway has had in years, and with Ada Hegerberg’s name on the back and the personal message to me, it just makes it even more special.

21. An iconic shirt from an iconic time. Rosenborg had been through their most successful era in the 90s, but it was still a fantastic team that won the league title on the last day due to having scored more goals than second. The shirt has been signed by Roar Strand who played 645 games for RBK.

19. A legendary Bayern Munich shirt. The blue stripes were controversial in 2014, but for me it was the perfect throwback to the mid 90s and the iconic shirts Bayern used then. Obviously it has Schweinsteiger on the back.

18. By now you should have realised that my favourite players aren’t mainstream. Scott McTominay is definitely in that category. A wonderful footballer who, unfortunately, didn’t quite release his full potential at United. His start at Napoli has been very good, and I hope he wins the league in May

17. RBK’s women’s team was kickstarted by a documentary following Trondheims-Ørn in their last season before being incorporated into Rosenborg. One of the players who stood out to me was Emilie Joramo. At the end of this season Rosenborg won the Norwegian cup before Joramo went on to bigger things.

Men nå avslutter vi kvelden med Gerwyn Price. Har han med seg Peltorene fra 2023 mon tro?

16. When Roy Keane left United Bastian Schweinsteiger had established himself at the heart of the Bayern midfield. I told everyone who would listen that he should be the replacement. When he signed ten years later I think I ordered the first shirt with his name on. One of my favourite non-United.

One of the very best players in the world is Norwegian. I think that’s amazing, and having a shirt with Caroline Graham Hansen’s name on the back is a no brainer. In 2019 Caro went from Wolfsburg to Barcelona, and that put her firmly in the limelight and she turned into one of the best in the world

13. The covid season in 2020 started with optimism in Trondheim. Rosenborg were ready to climb the table again, but after the season opener was postponed Horneland had to leave the club after three games without a win. The club was in free-fall. Pål André Helland, a local hero, on the back

12. After a period where United had been passed by Arsenal as the best team in the country SAF was building something very special. Ronaldo had to wait for his league title, but it was in his 2nd season at United you started to see what kind of player he was going to turn into.

11. In 2004 England had their best chance of winning something with what was their golden generation. Campbell, Ferdinand, Lampard, Rooney, and David Beckham. It didn’t work out. In a penalty shootout of course. Beckham blasted the ball sky high. But the shirt is just as beautiful today as in 2004.

10. Adidas have made some astonishing shirts.This shirt is fantastic, and the use of the devil instead of the traditional club crest works incredibly well. Ella Toone, probably my favourite United-player this season, on the back. A local girl who’s been there since the restart of the women’s team

9. In the summer of 2004 Adriano was one of the hottest prospects in the world. He had completed a few seasons away from Inter, with Parma and Fiorentina being his destinations, but now it was time to become the main man in Milan.

8. David Moyes brought one player with him down the M62. I thought he would be an instant hit at Old Trafford. The shirt Fellaini wore in his first season, with the black collar and the buttons, was beautiful, the Belgian was anything but beautiful, and he only started 15 PL games this season.

7. Blackburn Rovers won the Premier League the season before with a wonderful team, and the shirt which was worn both that season and in 95/96 was just as wonderful. Shearer, Sutton, Le Saux, Henning Berg, and Colin Hendry. Blackburn belong at a higher level than the Championship.

6. Green away shirts are some of my favourites, and this one, that Adidas made for last season, was gorgeous. Alejandro Garnacho on the back is almost a given. The Argentine is a magician with the ball, and he’s the type of winger that Manchester United fans adore.

5. Getting hold of shirts with the names of female players on the back has turned out to be nearly impossible without buying directly from the clubs, so when this turned up on the second hand market I had to have it. Ada is, as many of you know, one of my favourite players.

4. The chess-pattern wasn’t too well received, but it’s a fun shirt to have!
At one end of the pitch RvP scored at will, whereas Nemanja Vidic stood at the other end and stopped everything that came his way. The Serbian was the definition of no-nonsense. One of my favourites.

3. Those of us who have followed football for a long time waited for Belgium to go all the way in a major tournament. That never quite happened, but the shirt for 2022 World Cup in Qatar was golden. FIFA banned them from using it (🌈). KdB has to be recognised despite his club 🤷🏼♂️

2. The last few years Rosenborg has meant more and more to me, and when this shirt was released in the autumn of 2022 it was a must have. Having the local wonderkid Sverre Nypan on the back, including his signature, makes this shirt a true gem of my collection.

1: In 2001/02 David Beckham was probably the most famous footballer in the world. Becks and Posh were everywhere, and in my 12 year old head he was bigger than anything else.This was also his highest scoring season for United. 16 goals were tucked away by Beckham this season.

Mazraoui instead of Dalot at WB probably makes sense, but I was sure it would be the other way around.
