Description
An original and official match-worn Manchester City goalkeeper shirt worn by Tony Coton during the 1990/91 First Division season.
This is one of the rarest Manchester City goalkeeper shirts ever produced. The striking alternate goalkeeper jersey was worn on just two occasions, home and away against Norwich City, when City’s regular yellow and green goalkeeper kits were deemed unsuitable due to a colour clash.
Manufactured by Umbro and officially referred to as the “Number One” goalkeeper sweater, this unique design incorporates subtle number ‘1’ motifs woven into the fabric, making it one of the most distinctive goalkeeper shirts of its era.
Quite simply, you will not find another example of this shirt available on the market anywhere in the world. For collectors of Manchester City memorabilia, this shirt represents the holy grail of Manchester City goalkeeper shirts and is an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire one of the club’s most elusive match-worn pieces.
The shirt features all the correct player-specification details associated with Manchester City match-worn shirts from this era and is an outstanding example from one of the club’s most respected goalkeepers.
