The story

The chest tells the day in embroidery: Yeovil Town v Manchester United, FA Cup third round, January 2015. No English club has claimed more illustrious Cup victims than the Glovers, twenty League scalps in their non-league days, including legendary Sunderland in 1949, and when the draw brought the United of Rooney, Falcao and De Gea to Huish Park, all of Somerset stood still. Captain Joe Edwards cancelled a family holiday to play, 9,264 people sold out the ground, and for an hour the miracle lived, with Kieffer Moore missing history's goal by inches, until an Ander Herrera missile and a stoppage time Di María chip settled it all. Sondico's fine hoops, with W+S Recycling on the chest and Thatchers cider, Somerset's pride since 1904, on the back, were sold in this commemorative edition with the match details embroidered on. The season would end in relegation, but nobody relegates a day like this one.

Here at Hoopster this shirt carries the day embroidered on its chest: the afternoon Manchester United came to Huish Park and the miracle lived for a whole hour. Giants pass through, the embroidery stays.
