In the first years after the refugee, Anorthosis Famagusta had a difficult time. There were no training grounds, the tea...m's footballers were scattered in every corner of free Cyprus with the team paying the price of uprooting.
Finding uniforms was equally difficult, with other teams' uniforms often being borrowed. The specific jerseys were bought by a friend of Anorthosis in London and given as a gift to Anorthosis, so that the team to have a home kit. With the badge of course being that of Chelsea. A supporter of the team carefully removed the Chelsea badge and sewed the Anorthosis's phoenix in its place.
