Liverpool Rover Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I have just come across a clip of 1990s ECW Wrestling on YouTube and Jake “the snake” Roberts was wearing an old Wigan away shirt. Any more examples of RL Merchandise spotted in real life or on TV somewhere you wouldn’t expect it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastLondonMike Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 On a similar theme, there’s another video on YouTube of wrestler Val Venus in a shoot interview, wearing a Leeds top. And of course there’s the Hull KR poster (not quite merch) in the cafe in the classic Only fools and horses episode ‘To Hull and back’. Seem to also recall a Jon Cusack film back I the 80/90’s where he’s wearing a Kangaroos jersey. Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

Whippet13 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Space 1999 (series 2, episode 8, the Mark of Arcano) Alan Harrison has the matchball from the 1963 GB v Australia test at Swinton with him on moonbase Alpha. His grandad played in the test for real. 1999 was 22 years ago however, so it's now probably lost somewhere in intergalctic space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkMan Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Sorry to be pedantic, but it's Alan Carter and The Mark Of Archanon. Yeah, Space 1999 fan, in this episode an alien father and son are found cryogenically preserved under the moon's surface . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hallucinating Goose Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 The one I always think of is the KR poster in Only Fools and Horses but then again he is sat in a greasy spoon in Hull so not massively out of the ordinary. I'll have a think about some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbrian Mackem Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I remember seeing an advert in the 90’s which had a GB RL poster on a kid’s bedroom wall. Think the advert was for either fairy liquid or Daz washing powder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 18 minutes into this episode of Selwyn Froggit with Bill Maynard, the conversation with the Duke and Selwyn turns to RL ending with Selwyn demonstrating with a cushion as a Rugby ball.

Funnily enough I saw a young lad decked out in a muddy Skolars kit in my local Tesco's the other day. In Leytonstone. Obvs couldn't have showers where he'd come from.

Cheshire Setter Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Also - whilst it’s not TV-related - I’ve seen a few RL shirts in the Middle East and Africa. Shirts from the 2000 World Cup. They were obviously given to charity after that disastrous tournament, because I saw one being worn by a Indian labourer in Dubai and another worn by a local in Uganda.

Space 1999's women were more modestly-dressed than most series/movies of the time. The science behind is, of course, box officeology. If Caroline Munro had worn a boiler suit in 'Starcrash' or Jane Fonda did the same in 'Barbarella', I expect the takings would have been down quite a bit.
