Denmark 1986 player shirt by Hummel believed to have been issued to Nielsen for the Euro 88 Qualification Group 6 match against Finland played at Parken, Copenhagen on the 29th October '86.
This all-time classic design had shot to worldwide fame this summer at the 1986 World Cup and gained iconic status both for its originality and the superb performances of the 'Danish Dynamite' on the pitch.
Thankfully it was kept on for the successful Euro 88 qualification campaign too and worn as the side kick off their group fixtures with a 1-0 victory over Finland. Nielsen was an unused substitute here as Jens Bertelsen scored the only goal of the game in the 67th minute. The defender was part of that famed Mexico '86 squad and be a part of the victorious Euro '92 team in the future making 54 appearances in total for the DBU. This specification of the famous shirt is the same as was worn at the World Cup with an updated version worn in '87 which featured the Hummel logo next to the text.
