Collect 'em all - that's the goal of Lewis Collins, an avid Stevenage FC fan seeking to get his hands on every Boro shirt there is.
Lewis, who has been collecting since 2019, owns an astonishing 115 Stevenage shirts, dating from 1988 to the present day.
But he's not resting on his laurels - he's still hunting down the early shirts missing from his collection.
Among his impressive collection are every home, away and third shirt from 1994 onwards, plus another 50 shirts from special matches - such as Ronnie Henry's testimonial - or match-worn from famous Stevenage moments.
While Lewis had always owned a few shirts, his hobby really took flight when he picked up the 1994-96 blue away shirt.
He says: "I’d never seen it before, even following Stevenage since 2003 - I’d never seen anyone on the terraces wearing this jersey, and it turns out it was quite a rare piece."
In the years since he got the bug, Lewis has seen an increase in the popularity and "trendiness" of retro shirts - partially helped by The Broadhall Way, a platform he runs to sell retro merchandise and encourage an interest in the club's heritage.
He spotted that retro shirts have become "a big thing" at music festivals, and wanted to "proudly showcase" his local club.
And Lewis was delighted to see the club themselves jump into the retro remake market, with the club shop relaunching classic shirts in a "superb move".

Their popularity, Lewis believes, is testament to Boro having "some of football's greatest shirts", such as the famous 1996-98 red-and-white diagonal striped shirt, worn in the FA Cup matches against Newcastle, and Des Gallagher's quirky patterned goalkeeper shirts from the same era - Lewis quips "they don't make them like they used to!"
Other favourites picked out by Lewis are the player-issued shirts that he's "extremely grateful" to have. They include Gary Crawshaw's number nine away shirt from 1996, Mark Beard's shirt from the 2007 FA Trophy final, Ronnie Henry's Conference-winning away shirt, and Alex Gilbey's top from last year's Aston Villa giantkilling.
While Lewis's collection from the early 1990s onwards is almost complete, he's keen to get the "entire history of Stevenage shirts" in his hands.
He's missing a 1993-94 home shirt (made by Diadora and sponsored by Propak), and is keen to hear about any more shirts that may be out there from the 1980s and early 1990s.
If you played for Boro in that era, think you've got information about the kits, or have a shirt that you may be willing to send to a new home, you can get in touch with Lewis at thebroadhallway@outlook.com.
Away from his main collection, Lewis is also setting his sights on a different goal - helping to "preserve iconic names and player-issued shirts", with the aim of sharing it with a wider audience - he hopes that one day there may be a Stevenage FC museum.
And it's not just kits - with his platform, Lewis says he "often receives messages asking about shirts, history or preserving other pieces such as video tapes and programmes", and is always happy to help find a safe home for them or help digitise them for others to enjoy.
He adds: "The club continues to grow and it’s important we don’t forget the foundations and the players that have helped grow this little club to where it is now.
"If there was ever a time to follow Stevenage FC, there is no better time than the present."
