England 1990 Home Shirt (XL)

Authentic and original England home shirt, as used during the 1990 World Cup campaign, which was held in Italy, during which the English would reach the semi final stage, before penalty shootout heartbreak.

The English would begin their World Cup campaign in the group stages alongside Ireland, the Netherlands, and Egypt, progressing top of the group with just 4 points, with Holland and Ireland both going through on identical points, goal difference, goals scored, and goals conceded! Therefore, the sides would have to draw lots to determine final positions, with the Irish ultimately finishing in 2nd.

 From here, the English would be handed a knockout stage match against Belgium, where they would require a strike from David Platt in extra time to ensure progression. Then came the quarter finals, where extra time was yet again needed to see off Cameroon, setting up a tie against the Germans in the semi finals. It was here where the English would finally be stopped, following a 1-1 draw after extra time, the match would go to penalties, where Stuart Pearce would famously miss his penalty, alongside a failed spot kick also from Chris Waddle, ultimately ending England's campaign in the cruelest way possible.

Overall, shirt is in fantastic condition, especially considering age. No real issues, no holes, pulls, or bobbles, and badges remain superb. Size XL, with measurements provided in pictures.
