Earlier this year the National Football Museum proudly announced the arrival of over 300 new objects to its permanent displays. The objects are on loan to the museum from the Priory Collection, one of the finest private sporting collections in the country.
Many of these rare items are on public display for the first time. Included in this fantastic new display of objects are the shirt worn by Stanley Matthews in the thrilling ‘Matthews' Cup Final of 1953, Bobby Moore's shirt from the 1970 World Cup (swapped with Pele and immortalised in a famous photograph) and England full back George Cohen's Number 2 shirt from the 1966 World Cup Final.
(1996) In the stunned silence that followed England's fatal missed penalty at the Euro 96 semi-final on Wednesday, Stuart Pearce coolly took off his grey shirt and swopped it for a German player's white shirt.
To collectors of soccer shirts, it looked like a smart move. German shirts worn in the semi-final will soon be changing hands among collectors for pounds 700-pounds 800. Pearce's shirt is worth only pounds 350-pounds 500. "Even in that moment of anguish," Gordon Wallis, Britain's biggest collector of soccer memorabilia told me, tongue in cheek, "Pearce was thinking logically".
Some rare shirts go under the hammer at the Mullocks Football and Rugby Memorabilia auction on Tuesday 9th October 2007, 1.00pm Ludlow Racecourse, Ludlow, Shropshire.
