A George Best red and white No. 7 Real Madrid v Manchester United 1968 European Cup semi-final second leg match-worn shirt, bearing 'Umbro Aztec Jersey' label, with crew neck collar, together with a Manchester United towel that the shirt was wrapped in when it was passed to the current owner by George Best himself. Note: the current owner of this shirt regularly travelled to Old Trafford to watch her beloved Manchester United play, along with the London & District Supporters Club. Mingling with the players before the games, she became 'pally' with David Sadler, who lodged with George and would chat with both of them before matches. Having watched the first leg of the semi-final, she also travelled to Madrid to watch the second leg, having phoned George the week before to ask for his shirt after the game. Meeting him at the team hotel as he stepped off the coach, he shoved a soaking wet bundle into her arms before Jack Crompton (kit man) could see him give the shirt away. The shirt is accompanied by the towel that it was wrapped in, a five page statement written by the vendor and copies of photographs taken on the day. It is worth noting that the shirt's number has been stitched quite high up on the back and footage of the game appears to verify this.
