Juventus 1983-84 player shirt by Kappa believed to have been match worn by Gentile in the UEFA Cup Winners Cup Quarter Final 2nd leg against FC Haka played at Stadio Comunale Vittorio Pozzo on the 21st March 1984.
Juve had left it late in the 1st leg which was played in Strasbourg with Vignola popping up with a last minute winner to give the favourites an advantage to take back home with. Marco Tardelli ultimately put the tie to bed after just 15 minutes of the match here in Turin putting the side ahead to give the Finns a mountain to climb.
The iconic defender Gentile played the full match and as part of a formidable back line with Scirea, Brio and Cabrini helped keep a clean sheet for the third consecutive match in the competition. And all in this simply stunning Kappa shirt with a unique slim-fitting design with low collar and made from cotton material featuring the ultimate classic Ariston sponsor. The bianconeri went on to beat Manchester United and then FC Porto in the Final to win the trophy for the first time, next year they would confirm themselves as Kings of Europe lifting the European Cup. The World Cup winner Gentile spent over a decade at the club while also representing the Azzurri 73 times and will be remembered as one of the best defenders of his generation, easily entering into the games hall of fame.
