Perhaps the most celebrated of modern MUNKI (Mash-Up with Non Kitset Items) examples, when owner Adam Pearson picked up a joblot of white Umbro shorts (with thankfully tonal branding) from Sports Direct in Harrogate on the day to avoid a clash with Sheffield Wednesday’s black shorts in our first trip to Hillsborough in fourteen years, and the first big test of our promotion credentials following elevation to League One.

Several thousand Tiger Nationals made the trip and saw a mashed-up City take the game to the hosts, with the Tigers winning 4-2, largely down to a sublime two-goal performance from England’s Nick Barmby, who had joined his hometown club several months earlier. Micheal Keane and Danny Allsopp also netted, and the confidence generated by this win was beyond measurement, proving true boss Peter Taylor’s promise to ‘attack League One’.

A white shorted Barmby celebrating in front of City fans in the Leppings Lane end is an iconic image from that promotion season.
