Can anyone point me in the right direction to acquire a retro replica Rovers jersey from the 1940’s, you know the kind of jersey Clarrie Jordan or Paul Todd would’ve worn - I had one previously from the 46/47 season which I’ve lost somewhere & nostalgia gene is kicking in again !!

Thanks in anticipation

I got one many years ago. I think that the company was called Toppers.

That's it Dagenham. My daughter bought me one for Christmas all those years ago. I think that it's in the loft now. I suppose that they sold quite a few in those days.

Maybe you could dig it out and send it onto Branton Rover as he’s after one and you don’t wear yours.

He is a bit bigger than me so I'm not sure that it would fit. 🤔
That's not an excuse, I have seen him on away coaches and the away week-ends.

Re above although I agree I maybe seen as hefty compared to the rationing that went on during the war & the players who played thereafter

I have the Toffs 46-47 era and the 69-70's one. If you get either its a bit of a contrast to the modern nylon ones we have now. Very stiff cotton material, with little give on either, but look lovely.

I got a TOFFS one too, but I had a 5 put on the back of it.
