I don't think he's ever revealed why. I found these... https://www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/arid-20361133.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2510826/Ireland-boss-Martin-ONeill-reveal-fondness-number-31.html If I had to guess, I think he strongly believes that 13 is unlucky, and so he thinks that number backwards must be lucky. His birthday is March 1st, so it could possibly be related to that. Not sure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bert 6,846 Posted 4 March Report Share Posted 4 March Always thought O’Neill had the 31 as it was some relation to Brian Clough. This shirt btw, my favourite of all time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SouthStandUpperTier 5,856 Posted 4 March Report Share Posted 4 March Only wore this kit 3 times didn't we? And never won wearing it - at Luton (1-1), at Huddersfield (1-3), and at Reading (1-1). Great kit though. Still have my original too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Correct. 31 was the amount of Jack Daniels shots Cloughie would take before midday evey day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah. I think @Rain King is right. The black didn't fill in the fox's right iris enough on the original, and they didn't correct that for the replica. I wonder whether that was intentional, or if they just didn't notice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Osavo 266 Posted 4 March Report Share Posted 4 March Just checked my original and can confirm it also has the boz-eyed fox. Well, they did say every detail had been faithfully reproduced in fairness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
