LIVERPOOL 1981 EUROPEAN CUP FINAL Home Shirt Umbro MEDIUM Rare Version
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:20507456 | Size: M |
Kit Type: Home | English Club: Liverpool |
Brand: UMBRO | Item Type: Shirt Only |
Suitable For: Adults | Sleeve Length: Short Sleeves |
To confirm, this is an original shirt from 1981 and is NOT a more modern copy.
Manufacturer is UMBRO, with their logo and the Liverpool badge being fully embroidered.
I say that this is a rare version of the shirt as this shirt is made of a different material to the ones usually seen. This is made from a lighter, softer and shinier ...material. The story behind it from the person I purchased it from was that this shirt originally came from the club as manager Bob Paisley wanted such a lighter shirt for the heat expected in the final in Paris. This shirt is NOT matchworn though.
As stated above this is a commemorative shirt, celebrating their success in reaching Paris for the 1981 European Cup, where they won the third of (now) 6 European Cups courtesy of a late Alan Kennedy against Real Madrid.
Size of the shirt: the neck label states the size is 38-40" ADULTS MEDIUM, but quite a generous size too and larger than the usual replicas of the time. Condition of the shirt is EXCELLENT. This shirt just has a handful of bobbles/plucks and a little wear/fading to the neck label. The shirt looks and feels like only worn and washed a handful of times, if that - IT'S REALLY THAT GOOD!!
A great looking shirt and a very, very, very rare one to find in this sort of size and condition - hence the considerably higher than usual start price for this auction. Please check out my other auctions for more rare shirts. Offered here with no reserve and FREE UK postage.
