Lineker and co missed a host of chances to get themselves back into the game and slipped to an unfortunate 1-0 defeat. Anderson was an unused substitute for this match and did not feature against Holland or Soviet Union either as England suffered 3-1 reverses in both to suffer an early exit from the tournament. Anderson made history in 1978 when he became the first black player for play for England in a full international match. The former Nottingham Forest and Arsenal defender went on to represent his country 30 times in total.
Correct player size flock print professionally heat pressed, fully embroidered crest and Umbro logo, size specified as Medium instead of 97-102cms, swapped with a Ireland player and comes from their collection - a signed letter verifying this can be provided.
