RTÉ's 'Head To Toe' Feature On Football Jerseys From 1996 Is Must See Cringe TV

A truly Irish, truly 90s clip has found it's way to us here at Balls.ie, and if you remember 'Soccer City' on Dublin's Ashton Quay, you're in for a treat.

Even if you don't remember the extensive football only shop which enabled me, as an 8 year old Irish boy, to wear an Ajax jersey with 'Oliseh 15' on the back, then you'll probably have a laugh at this ridiculousness anyway.

Big thanks again to KillianM2 for the clip, as this incredibly random clip from 'Head To Toe' treats football jerseys as fashion items, and conducts a number of cringy interviews with shop owners, children, John Giles, Eamon Dunphy, and Joe Kinnear.

Without a doubt the highlight is this clip where the 'models' show off their kit with 1996 prices included:

You can watch the clip in full below, which also features John Giles giving the exact same quote he gave to Off The Ball last week, 20 years after he said it to 'Head To Toe'. That's oddly satisfying.

The general theme is "£40? Desperate. And a new one every season? Desperate so it is."

A true reflection of every Irish parent's mindset at that time.
