Description

An original and official match-worn Manchester City shirt worn by defender Ray Ranson during the 1979–1981 First Division seasons.

This iconic shirt design was worn across two consecutive seasons and features the famous City of Manchester Coat of Arms (COA) crest together with the distinctive woven fabric pattern, making it one of the most recognisable Manchester City shirts of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Ray Ranson was a commanding defender whose commitment and leadership made him a respected figure during his time at Maine Road. Genuine match-worn shirts from this era are exceptionally scarce, particularly those with impeccable provenance.

Quite simply, this is one of the rarest Manchester City match-worn shirts you are ever likely to find. Shirts from this period almost never become available on the open market, making this an outstanding opportunity to acquire a true museum-quality piece of Manchester City history.

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 centrepiece for your collection, this shirt represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to own one of the finest and most desirable Manchester City match-worn shirts in existence.
