The supporter-led event is a chance to squeeze into the kits of yesteryear in a nod to the changing face of football fashion.

It is all for a good cause too, with bucket collections taking place around the ground in aid of the Gary Parkinson Trust.

Former PNE right-back Gary Parkinson suffers from locked-in syndrome after having a severe brain stem stroke in 2010.

He needs round-the-clock care and the trust helps to raise money for that - fans are being asked to 'bring a pound for Parky'.

So whether it is Adidas, Matchwinner, Scoreline, John Harrison Sports, Hobot, Kit or Joe Bloggs, dust off the old shirts, breath in and show them with pride!
