Description
An original and official match-worn Manchester City shirt worn by striker Kevin Reeves during the 1981 FA Cup Final against Tottenham Hotspur.
This is a truly unique and exceptionally rare piece of Manchester City history from one of the club’s most memorable Wembley appearances. Worn by the then 23-year-old Kevin Reeves, this short-sleeved shirt was used in both the original FA Cup Final and the replay, making it an outstanding collector’s item from one of football’s greatest occasions.
Reeves famously scored from the penalty spot in the replay, adding further significance to a shirt worn during one of the most dramatic FA Cup Finals ever played.
For the 1981 Final, Umbro produced just one set of shirts for Manchester City, with players each allocated both a short-sleeved and long-sleeved option depending on preference and conditions. The fact that this shirt was worn in both Wembley finals makes it an exceptionally important piece of Manchester City memorabilia.
The shirt features all the correct player-specification details associated with Manchester City match-worn shirts from this era and is one of the most desirable examples from the club’s rich FA Cup history.
