1980's Umbro City Shirts

Probably saw every game Paul played for City, and a good few in the youth team. We will never know, how good this lad would have been. I do know that Swales would have flogged him in a eye blink, without the awful injury v Villa at Maine Road.
 
Not a City shirt but certainly a City connection and also very 1980’s !!

City legend Mike Summerbee’s match worn shirt & shorts from the iconic 1981 film Escape To Victory in which he starred as Sid ‘Buzzer’ Harmer alongside the likes of Pele, Bobby Moore and Sylvester Stallone.

The kit was produced by Stockport based manufactures Bukta and donated by Summerbee to Charity event in the late 1980’s.

1986/87 First Division squad signed original Mitre match ball believed to have been used in the first ever televised live Manchester Derby on 14th October 1986 in which Mick McCarthy would score a bullet header during a 1-1 draw.

Ball was donated following the fixture by Ken Barnes to a Charity event.

Me holding "the signed matchball" on that very day at Maine Road. I still have it, although the signatures have faded somewhat over time :(

Two match balls from City’s 10-1 victory over Huddersfield Town on 7th November 1987.

Three balls were awarded to the three hat-trick scorers David White, Paul Stewart & Tony Adcock while man of the match Paul Simpson received a bottle champagne instead of a ball, which were normally given as prizes that season for the MOM but Bernard Halford refused to give up a 4th ball !!

@City_Shirts Do you collect other memorabilia, or is it just match worn shirts?

I've got the match ball from the 2011/12 home derby, won by Vincent Kompany's shiny bonce, along with POA certificate - my pride and joy.

I’m a bit gutted reading about all these shirts. Back in the mid 80’s Glyn pardoe used to pop round to drop off new players shirts. They weren’t your cheap Phillips Umbro replicas. I had 2 home tops, the black/red striped and the black red cheque one, all numbered up. All went in the bin when I moved out from my mums. I used to have a fully signed Gio kinkladze long sleeve brother shirt which was auctioned by Alan ball. Decided to sell it on EBay in 2011 to a lad from bury for £450. Wish I still had them.

Insane. Why on earth would you bin them, I can understand selling on Ebay, I did it myself with the pinstripe Saab and the Philips checkerboard cos I needed the cash.
Could never bring myself to bin a City shirt, I still have all mine that I didn't sell.

I used to wear them until they were well worn. I’d even go to bed in them. I think the felt had worn off the checked one, and my mum had put an iron burn on Andy mays home shirt.

I bet you are as they sound like some amazing shirts but how good a statement is that 'Glyn Pardoe' used to pop round !!

Them Kinkladze shirt was sold recently for about £3k but I'm sure that won't help ease the pain ;-)

Pardoe used to take £20 off my nan for the shirts. I paid £150 to my boss for the kinkladze one. He had been bidding for it and didn’t know who he was. It sold for £350 at auction, but he threw it across the table and said gimme £150. I sold the shirt to fund my wedding abroad. Wish I’d not done both. Still married though.
