Benfica 1985-86 player shirt by Adidas believed to have been issued or match worn in the 1985-86 season.
Benfica were coached by English boss John Mortimore who took charge for this campaign and guided the Águias to a runners-up finish in the Primeira Divisão and glory in the Taça de Portugal where Belenenses were defeated in the Final.
The side wore this superb pinstripe Adidas design with the classic Shell sponsor that was present on the club's shirts until '87. The shirt was given to a player the club were hoping to sign as a gift.
