Description

An original and official match-worn Manchester City alternate goalkeeper jersey worn by Eric Nixon during the 1986/87 First Division season.

This exceptionally rare goalkeeper jersey features all the correct player-specification details associated with Manchester City match-worn shirts from the era and represents a wonderful piece of the club’s history.

Adding further to its uniqueness, the jersey enjoyed a second life at the club, being reused during the 1988/89 season as a warm-up top by goalkeeper Andy Dibble, despite Manchester City’s switch to the iconic Brother sponsorship by that time. This fascinating piece of provenance highlights the way football shirts were often reused during the 1980s, making surviving examples with such history even more desirable.

Genuine Manchester City goalkeeper shirts from this period are exceptionally difficult to source, with very few ever becoming available on the open market. This jersey represents a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of Manchester City’s goalkeeping heritage.

Every shirt featured on this website is an original match-worn or match-issued example. These shirts are among the hardest Manchester City memorabilia pieces to obtain and form part of Mark’s world-renowned collection of Manchester City match-worn shirts.

Each shirt purchased comes complete with a personally signed Letter of Provenance from Mark, confirming its authenticity and origin, giving buyers complete confidence in the history and provenance of their shirt.

Whether you’re a dedicated Manchester City supporter, a serious football memorabilia collector, or searching for a truly unique piece of football history, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire an authentic match-worn goalkeeper jersey from one of the club’s most fascinating eras.
