WHAT ALAN KNIGHT SAID
Knight tweeted West's official X account and said: "Can I have my shirt back please buddy? PUP [Play up Pompey]."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
This isn't the first time West has publicly shown off his love of vintage football gear. In the past he has been spotted donning Manchester United shirts and jackets, while in October he appeared to wear a Tottenham 2001/02 third shirt at the Tyson Fury v Francis Ngannou fight.
DID YOU KNOW?
Eagle-eyed Portsmouth fans noticed that the Asics logo - the manufacturer of the shirt - looked different on West's shirt to the one Knight wore in the 90s. One supporter suggested that West was wearing a training version of the shirt rather than the match version.
