Rugby club and local firm celebrate one of the longest-running sponsorship deals in UK sport

Saints and Travis Perkins celebrate 20 years of togetherness at tonight's Premiership clash with Worcester on Friday night (October 22).

The Northampton-based building supplies firm signed up for a sponsorship deal back in 2001 and they're still going strong, making it one of the most enduring in UK sport.

TP brands have been on a variety of Black, Green and Gold shirts — and a few red, white and pastel blue, too. Here's just a selection from the last 20 years and a few of the stars that have worn them ... see how many different shades of green you can count!
