Description

A truly exceptional piece of Manchester City history, this shirt was match worn by legendary goalkeeper Joe Corrigan in the 1981 FA Cup semi-final against Ipswich Town at Villa Park.

The semi-final remains one of the most memorable matches of City’s 1980/81 campaign. With the contest finely balanced, captain Paul Power produced a wonderful extra-time strike to secure a famous victory and send Manchester City through to the FA Cup Final at Wembley.

Behind him stood the imposing figure of “Big Joe” Corrigan, one of the greatest goalkeepers ever to represent Manchester City. Renowned for his commanding presence, bravery and outstanding shot-stopping ability, Corrigan played a crucial role throughout City’s run to Wembley and remains one of the most respected players in the club’s history.
