Up for auction on Ebay : 1984 Carlisle United Umbro Home Football shirt
The seller added the following :
Rare and vintage Carlisle United 1984 shirt,Match Worn? Very rare Carlisle United home shirt in excellent condition.
Taken from the 1984-85 season and only 1 or2 minor pulls on it. Made by Umbro with all badges embroided.
Some people are on the Pitch launched their fourth Shirt Legend poll which focuses on Arsenal's home shirts since 1969.
For those of you unfamiliar with what this is all about, they simply show you pictures of all the shirts worn by a particular team over the last forty or so years and ask you to vote for the one you like best. You can also leave your comments and thoughts too, and we strongly urge you to do so.
Over the years, Umbro have made thousands and thousands of kits. Unfortunately though, they have been very bad at keeping track of them all!
However, Umbro is now looking at labelling and properly archiving all of the kits that they have so that they have a record.
Most of the shirts in the image above have been under people's desks or in the back of cupboards.

The seller added the following:
This is a genuine player issue shirt from the 1988 FA Cup Final. The shirt is No 12 which was issued to John Scales. However in the final, John wore the long sleeved shirt and here is the short sleeved unused option. It is in excellent condition and fleece lined (Unlike shop replica shirts) and is a size L/M.
All the embroidery is in good condition as is the printing of the numbers on the back of the shirt. A low reserve for such a rare and historic item.
