The Joe Lolley Retirement

Re: Joe Lolley!

What's 1992 got to do with it,as far as I'm concerned you don't put a star on the shirt for winning a title, no matter when it was won.I thought the stars on shirts were for European cup winners.

They can be for anything, Yeovil had 3 to celebrate 15 years in the football league.

Re: Joe Lolley!

Manchester City had three, for absolutely nothing!

Manchester City don't get anything for nothing if they can spend £20m on it.....

By the end of this season they can claim its is a star for every ten points clear they are of Man Utd

Re: Joe Lolley!

There is no convention. Huddersfield have three for their hat-trick of league titles. Burnley have two for their two league titles. Ipswich have three to represent all the trophies they’ve ever won.

If Man U took Ipswich’s tacky approach they’d have to share out stars between the first teamer’s shirts.

When did forest first put stars on?

Wasn't it the 08/09 season? To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the first European Cup win?

Re: Joe Lolley!

Having stars on your shirt for being the best team in Europe and achieving the highest club honour possible is fine.

Anything else is Mickey Mouse.

My cap one shirt has the ring of stadium names and stars each side.

Re: Joe Lolley!

It was the shirt we got relegated in. Two silver stars on the left sleeve. Daws unveiled it. Capital One. 04/05 for 25 years since iirc

Maybe 03/04

As much as I agree that stars should only be there for being the best team in Europe, achieving the highest club honour possible, Huddersfield did win the highest club honour possible at the time and may well have been the best team in Europe.

True. But I think the point is that the League / FA Cup etc is a competition that an English club is guaranteed to win, so if we start putting stars on the shirt for those competitions then it'd end up getting ridiculous.

Winning a domestic competition but then going on to be champions of Europe is a far greater accomplishment and is quite rightly commemorated by those that achieve it.

An English team isn't guaranteed to win anything, if they want to put stars on their shirts for their greatest achievements then so be it

Re: Joe Lolley!

I'll bet Joe doesn't care about any stars on shirts put there even last year. He wants to be in a team that puts stars on his shirt today, so go Joe, go! Give us something to cheer about and yourself something to savour when your career is over.

Re: Joe Lolley!

I don't know if it's on the current one, but the Sadpies put a star above their club crest to commemorate winning the FA Cup in 1890-odd.

Re: Joe Lolley!

Looking forward to seeing lolley, just what we seem to be needing.

Him and Tomlin should add some real attacking quality when fit.

Agree 100%

I don't study the badges/crests of our rivals and assumed that ourselves, Liverpool, Man U and Villa were the only English clubs with stars. I didn't realise that Huddersfield, Burnley and Notts County had them until we played Huddersfield at home last season and my 10 year old asked why they had 3 stars (That's when I made my 'Huddersfield are coming it a bit' comment). Before that, I assumed that they were endorsed by EUFA. Basically, they don't bloody mean a lot on the whole then, anyone can put one on for winning any Mickey Mouse cup. How about having a solar system on the shirt for the County Cup wins ?

Strange. He was MOM every time he saw himself.

Re: Joe Lolley!

I don’t begrudge Huddersfield their stars. Winning a hat-trick of first division titles is quite an achievement.

Re: Joe Lolley!

I thought it was silver stars for European cups and gold stars for world cups on international jerseys.

Depends on the league and club involved.

Juventus, for example, have three Gold Stars on their “Home” shirt, each Gold Star represents ten Scudettos.

They don’t however have a Star to represent their two European Cup wins.

I seem to remember we started wearing two silver stars just after England put the gold star on the shirt. So that isn't probably set in stone but where that came from.

Re: Joe Lolley!

I've said it before - we are in great company for star wearing. Literally none of the "big teams" do it.
