Get Shirty: The Rise & Fall of Admiral Sportswear

Available for over a year

We love an underdog story in Leicester don't we? Well if you're a football fan, and love your retro kits, you're gonna love this. Have you heard the one about the underwear company based in Wigston that ended up making the England football kit? 'Get Shirty' is a new book that tells the story of the Leicester company Admiral sports, and how they came out of nowhere to not only effectively invent replica kits, but then get the contract for the England national team. The book started as an ITV documentary and is written by Andy Wells, who has been telling Jack Rafferty all about it.
