My First Football Shirt: Andrei Kanchelskis
Andrei Kanchelskis played 123 games for Manchester United scoring 28 goals and got to wear some absolutely belting football shirts. The beautiful 1992 Manchester United x Adidas away shirt, the Newton Heath x Umbro yellow and green shirt but his favourite was an absolute classic.
Speaking to us exclusive for our My First Football Shirt series, Andrei Kancheslkis revealed his first and favourite football shirts.
I would say that my favourite was my first home kit at Manchester United in 1991 [1990-92 kit, made by Adidas]. The Sharp sponsor and the clean Adidas design elements that weaved some black into the classic red-white colour scheme was class.
The away kit was stellar as well and will always be remembered for being the shirt of that particular era, but the home kit really was the winner for me and I loved wearing it whenever I played.
