It has to be the Candy shirt when we were at Liverpool. In those days we were pretty much unbeatable, finishing first, second, first, second before coming sixth in my last year at Liverpool. 

I liked the shirt at Fulham and the Oxford one with WANG on it, which I won my first medal in, the 1986 League Cup, but the Candy one is the best. 

The FA Cup final win against Everton in 1989 was a standout occasion in the shirt because of the memories and how much that game meant to the city, having gone through so much with Hillsborough
