Never really knew what went on with his business but my favourite away City shirt had his sponsor on it. Yellow and green Brazil kit.
RIP.

former shirt sponsor and supporter, Ken Thorne passed away yesterday.
He and his family have been living in Dubai since his business went bust in early 2000's.
I know he may have sailed close to the wind at times and may not have been everyone's cup of tea, but he was still a bluebird....
RIP Ken

It was the same shirt.
When he went bust and the sponsorship ended the club sewed Leekes badges over the Ken Thorne logo on the replica shirts and sold then for a fiver.
Almost bought the Club at one time too the Echo 'understands'.
He was alright, it was his poxy sons who took the business and screwed it and his staff into oblivion.
At least the family escaped the poverty drop some find themselves in when they lose everything , and made it to Dubai even after becoming bankrupt. RIP ken , didn't really like the shirt , not up their with Super Fury Animals
He`s gone to the World of Cars, he`ll be in his oils.
