No other club in the world has a football shirt history as colourful as Tottenham Hotspur. Lilywhite & Blue is a visual history of every glorious shirt design since the team was founded.

For this unique limited edition book, memorabilia collectors have opened the doors to their private collections, to bring together some of the rarest match-worn Spurs shirts of all time: Klinsmann’s famous debut shirt; Cup Final kits from as far back as 1962, muddy match strips from every Premiership season, and the shirts that even Spurs don’t have in their archives.

Nobby Stiles is selling a collection of memorabilia from a glittering football career - including the blue Manchester United shirt worn by him in the 1968 European Cup final against Benfica

The 45 lots are expected to reach hundreds of thousands of pounds when they go under the hammer at Convery Auctions later this year.

Stiles, 68, who suffered a stroke in June, said: "It was always my intention to leave the entire collection to my children. But I have three sons - how do you fairly divide up this sort of collection between them? They have each selected some pieces they would like to keep for themselves."

The tough-tackling Manchester United midfielder won two league titles and a European Cup during an 11-year career with the Old Trafford club.

Some Very Special Entries Include...

David Beckham has donated the shirt in which he made his record-equalling 108th England cap to charity.

The number 17 shirt worn by Beckham will now be auctioned on behalf of The Bobby Moore Fund. 

"It was a very, very generous gesture," Stephanie Moore told BBC Radio 5 Live.  

"That shirt is of great emotional value to David.

"It was very kind and generous of him to donate it to the charity so we can auction it to raise funds for dedicated bowel cancer research - the disease that killed Bobby so young."

"I know Bobby would have been the first to congratulate him. David has given so much to the sport and continues to so on so many different levels across the world, we should be proud of him.

"To have achieved 108 caps at this level, whether he goes on for part or all of the match, is considerable.

"Bobby would have smiled and said well done, congratulations, enjoy the moment and go on and do even better."

Moore died in 1993, aged 51, after suffering from bowel cancer and the fund was set-up in his honour the same year in partnership with Cancer Research UK.
