Description

An original and official match-worn Manchester City shirt worn by one of the club’s brightest young talents, Tommy Caton, during the 1979/80 First Division season.

This ultra-rare shirt comes personally signed by Tommy Caton on the front, adding further to its historical significance and desirability for collectors of genuine Manchester City memorabilia.

The shirt remains in its original match-worn condition and displays signs of use consistent with its age and history, including a stain to the front and a tear to the V-neck collar, both of which are clearly shown in the accompanying photographs. These characteristics form part of the shirt’s authenticity and tell the story of a genuine piece of football history.

Tommy Caton was regarded as one of the finest young defenders of his generation and captained Manchester City at a remarkably young age. Tragically, following an injury that forced his retirement from professional football, Tommy passed away from a heart attack on 30 April 1993 at just 30 years of age, only weeks after retiring from the game.
