This Bryan Robson shirt from Manchester United’s run to the quarter-finals of the 1984-85 Uefa Cup recently sold at auction for £8500.
The Away design, which is slightly different to the domestic version in missing the two adidas logos from the sleeves and instead having one on the chest, carries the embroidered crest centrally and also has competition detailing on the breast.
United legend Robson has, at some point, signed the shirt, which is of the style he would have worn, including carrying his almost synonymous number 7, in the thrilling “Battle of Britain” victory over Dundee United in December 1984.
Estimated at a modest £700-1000, the vintage piece far surpassed that prediction.
This item was sold by Graham Budd Auctions, a specialist in sporting memorabilia.
