Ajax 1992 player shirt by Umbro believed to have been issued to Pettersson for the UEFA Cup Final played over two legs against Torino in April and May 1992.
Despite the granata colours of the Italian outfit Ajax were able to wear their traditional red and white home strip both in Turin and Amsterdam and this green away shirt was not required to be worn.

The kings of the European Cup in the early 70's Ajax had added a Cup Winners Cup to their honours sheet in 1987 but still required the UEFA Cup crown for the full set. And Louis van Gaal's highly talented side achieved that here thanks to an away goals triumph over Torino after a hard fought 180 minutes of action. The 1st leg was a classic at the Delle Alpi finishing 2-2 as the hosts came from behind twice with Pettersson himself on the scoresheet. The 2nd leg was an agonising affair and Ajax survived to secure a 0-0 draw despite the visitors hitting the post and bar. The Swedish hero spent 6 glorious years at de Meer and returned to Sweden in '94 bagging another 3 Allsvenskan titles before hanging up his boots in '98.
Correct player size cloth print professionally machine stitched, fully embroidered club badge, capitalised Umbro logo with ® and Finale U.E.F.A. Cup 1992 match detail, long sleeved version not available commercially, comes from the personal collection of a former Ajax player - a signed letter verifying this can be provided.
