Found a couple of interesting web pages regarding shirt sponsorship, at the time a new and innovative way of making extra revenue that the FA banned. Look where we are now!!

"It was not until the late 1970s that sponsorship deals between commercial companies and football clubs became legal, in 1976 Kettering Town signed a deal with Kettering Tyres, the FA banned the club from exhibiting the sponsor on their tops and threatened the club with a fine of £1000. The following year in 1977 the FA backtracked and shirt sponsorship was allowed. The first English club to secure a sponsorship deal was Derby County, they only wore the football tops featuring the Saab sponsor once for a photo shoot, Liverpool were the first club to wear a shirt featuring a sponsor during a league match, this was in 1979 with the sponsor Hitachi. Sponsorship was initially extremely unpopular and up until 1983 television companies refused to broadcast matches that featured clubs wearing football tops with sponsors on."
We learn from history or we are doomed to repeat it's mistakes.
