Description
An original and official match-worn Manchester City shirt worn by Paul Moulden during the 1988/89 Second Division promotion-winning season under Mel Machin. This iconic shirt design was also worn by Trevor Morley during the campaign that saw City return to the First Division.
Quite simply, this is one of the most stunning and sought-after Manchester City match-worn shirts of the 1980s. Worn across two seasons in two different divisions, it has become one of the defining shirts of an unforgettable period in the club’s history.
The design was introduced during the 1988/89 promotion campaign before being retained for the 1989/90 First Division season, where it was worn in league fixtures away to Coventry City, Chelsea, Wimbledon and Everton.
For many supporters, this shirt is forever associated with some of Manchester City’s most memorable goals of the era. It witnessed Clive Allen’s spectacular volley at Chelsea, Paul Moulden’s superb strike at Chelsea, and Paul Lake’s unforgettable FA Cup volley at Millwall. It seemed that whenever City wore this shirt, spectacular goals were never far away.
The shirt features all the correct player-specification details associated with Manchester City match-worn shirts from this era. Genuine examples are exceptionally difficult to source and are regarded as one of the standout designs from the late 1980s.
