LOT 2502
A George Best green and white No. 7 Northern Ireland reputed match-worn shirt, bearing 'The Umbro 'Real' Jersey' label, embroidered 'Irish Football Association' badge and indistinct yellow Umbro stamp, with crew neck collar and long sleeves. Note: this shirt is reputed to have been worn by George Best in the British Home Championship game against Scotland, November 25th 1964 at Hampden Park. Best scored his second international goal, opening the scoring in the 9th minute, eventually losing the game 3-2. The shirt is said to have been swapped with the Celtic striker Willie Wallace's shirt after the game. Wallace was to later become a coach at Dundee FC and this shirt was won in a Stobswell Junior Football Club gala day raffle by a member of the vendor's family. The lot is accompanied by various related newspaper cuttings. Thanks to Michael Cockcroft of the Northern Ireland Football Museum for his help in cataloguing this lot.
