About the Author

Classic Football Shirts (Author) Classic Football Shirts was founded in Manchester in 2006, by two friends looking for a vintage 1990 West Germany football shirt the summer before their final exams. They created a dedicated platform for fans to purchase rare and unique football kits, launching their website from their student house, quickly filling it with inventory. Today Classic Football Shirts is the leading global football shirt retailer, showcasing an extensive collection of match-worn, contemporary and classic shirts. With two stores in the UK and two in the US, Classic Football Shirts is a global destination for football fans, celebrating the rich history of football culture and helping people all over the world find the perfect shirt to wear to five-a-side.
