ADEN FLINT Away Player Issue Genuine player shirt of big Central Defender Aden Flint. Flint had a mixed time playing for Cardiff but became a hero when scoring the winner in the South Wales derby against Swansea. No match deatils on this shirt but came via Aden who donated the shirt to a local football club in Bristol.
LEE TOMLIN Away Player Issue Another Cardiff shirt added to my collection from a player with a Bristol City connection. No match details on this shirt but again from a reliable source. Tomlin wa a very frustrating player for Cardiff who unforunatley was not able to show off his skills on a regular basis due to injury.
JOSH MURPHY Home Player Issue Player Issue shirt of winger Josh Murphy. Murphy unfortunately failed to impress and live up to his huge price tag during his time at Cardiff and was released to lower league clubs. An interesting shirt as you can see that the "NOT TODAY OR ANY DAY" patch is above the official EFL Sky Bet league patch. This was the case on all shirts for the first few games of the season.
CURTIS NELSON 3rd Player Issue
Player Issue shirt of Central Defender Curtis Nelson. Shirt was obtained from the winner of an online competition hosted by Nelson's agent. The 3rd shirt is interesting this season as you see minor changes on the back of the shirt for the last 2 games of the season it was used. For these 2 games you can see that the "SAMTRADE FX" sponsor was added at the top of the back of the shirt.
ALEX SMITHIES GK Player Issue Player Issue shirt of Goalkeeper Alex Smithies. Smithies and Phillips shared the goalkeeper jersey this season and it would be extrely difficult to choose who was the better of the 2. Another great addition to the collection with Goalkeeper shirts getting harder and harder to obtain as well as there now being atleast 3 variations of colour.
JUNIOR HOILETT Home Player Issue
Another great shirt in the collection from Canadian internation Junior Hoilett. Both this and the away shirt was obtained from the player sponsor after the season ended. Note that this shirt would have been used from November onwards as the "NOT TODAY OR ANY DAY" arm sleeve is below the EFL Patch as per the EFL instructions.
DILLON PHILLIPS GK Shirt (9th January 2021) versus Nottingham Forest Spare goalkeeper shirt of Number 1 Dillon Phillips. Phillips was the unused goalkeeper in the FA Cup game against Nottingham Forest and shirt displays the FA Cup sleeve. The sleeve is extra special as this was the first time all teams would have the number of times they have won the FA Cup on the top right hand corner. City lost this game 1-0 which was yet again another disappointing cup run.
MARLON PACK Home (12th December 2020) Versus Swansea City
Match worn Marlon Pack shirt that's been added to the collection. Shirt obtained via official auction and was worn in a designated game with all shirts auctioned for the "Cardiff in the community" charity. Pack came on in the 77th minute of the Local South Wales Derby which ended up in a disappointing 2 nil loss.
ALEX SMITHIES Away (12th December 2020) versus Swansea City Match worn shirt of goalkeeper Alex Smithies and worn in the 2 Nil loss in the South Wales Derby. Shirt was obtained via an official auction and displays special printing on the chest to represent the "Cardiff in the community" charity.
PERRY NG Away Player Issue
Fantastic shirt of defender Perry NG. Versatile defender Perry NG has played as both right back and central defender during his time at the club. Over the seasons NG has become a firm fans favourite and even chips in with the odd goal now and again.
ADEN FLINT Home Player Issue Match Shirt of Central Defender Aden Flint. Not the most popular of players due to a dodgy start at the club and his Bristol connections. Also played during a bad period where Cardiff once played wtih 5 centre backs in the starting 11. Soon became a hero with a winning goal against local rivals Swansea City
GAVIN WHYTE Away (9th January 2021) versus Nottingham Forest Match shirt of Northern Ireland winger Gavin Whyte. Gavin Whyte was an unuse substitute in the game that City lost 1-0. Yet again another disappointing cup run A great shirt added to the collection with rare FA Cup sleeves.
ALEX SMITHIES GK Player Issue Player issue shirt of Goalkeeper Alex Smithies. No details on this shirt but with the "NOT TODAY OR ANY DAY" patch appearing under the EFL patch it would be a shirt used/prepared from November onwards.
GAVIN WHYTE 3rd Player Issue Player issue shirt of Northern Ireland winger Gavin Whyte. No match details on this shirt but again from a reliable source. This shirt woudld have been used during the first half of the season when the "SAMTRADE FX" sponsor was not added on the back of the shirt.
KIEFFER MOORE Away Player Issue The only Kieffer Moore shirt currently in my collection. A fantastic addition to my collection of the giant Welsh international. Moore came in and scored vital goals for us during the season as well as bagging goals for his country. Quite possibly the only true striker that Cardiff have had for a number of seaons.
DILLON PHILLIPS GK Player Issue Player shirt of goalkeeper Dillon Phillips. A great shirt that was never made available as a replica throughout the season.
The shirt would have been used later in the season as the "NOT TODAY OR ANY DAY" patch is below the EFL patch.
ALEX SMITHIES GK (19th September 2020) versus Nottingham Forest A great addition to my collection as the shirt came to me from a reliable source but unsure of the game at the time. I was able to idenitfy the shirt from online pictures as the shirt was only used once with the "NOT TODAY OR ANY DAY" armpatch appearing above the EFL arm patch. Always great to find the details of a shirt and the match it was worn in.
MARLON PACK 3rd Player Issue Third shirt of midfielder Marlon Pack. Shirt contains the "SAMTRADE FX" sponsor on the back and would have been used or issued for the last 2 games of the season that this style was worn. Shirt was obtained from a fundraiser of a Bristol youth football club that Marlons's children played for at the time.
Home Player Issue (6th November 2020) versus Bristol City
Player issue shirt from 3rd choice goalkeeper Joe Day. Day was not even a named substitute for the game but had
the shirt prepared and sold for charity. Likelihood is that the club were using this opportunity to get rid of shirts that
were printed incorrectly due to the league informing kit managers late to where the "NOT TODAY OR ANY DAY" patch should appear on the sleeve.
Home (6th November 2020) versus Bristol City
Match Worn shirt of striker Robert Glatzel. Glatzel was a named substitute for the game and made an appearence
from the 63rd minute. Glatzel failed to make an impact to the game with it ending once again in a 1 nil defeat to local rivals Bristol City.
This was once again yet another under performance derby match by the team.
Home Player Issue
Match Worn / Player issue shirt of Midfielder Lee Tomlin. No details of the shirt but aquired from a league representitive. Shirt was
obtained very early in the season and contains the "NOT TODAY OR ANY DAY" patch above the EFL arm sleeve.
Wanted
Not sure if exist and need more research but it could be possible that we used the Orange GK shirt with the
"NOT TODAY OR ANY DAY" appearing above the EFL arm sleeve
