Leicester City - 1972/1973 (White Home)

No Name - Number: 10

Other Badge: Embroidered Leicester City Badge

Worn / Issue: Worn and Laundered




This is a shirt design that is now virtually impossible to find. It comes from the 1972 season when Leicester wore white shirts as their home kit for the first and only season. The number 10 was worn by Frank Worthington during this year, but the previous owner believed it was worn by Alan Birchenall and so has got him to sign it. One day I hope to get Frank Worthington to sign it also. The shirt has many pulls and one rip across the chest.

The shirts in the seventies were always put to good use and I would say that if you get a shirt from that era, it is more likely to have been worn, yet if you get a shirt from todays generation, there is a high chance it is just match issued. So to get a shirt from the seventies you really have a shirt with a great history of it being played in.


This is an extremely rare Leicester away shirt. During 1972/3 Leicester wore white at home and blue away. If any Leicester fans are reading this they would automatically think this was worn by the great Keith Weller. Keith actually wore number 9 this particular season and so this shirt would have been worn in matches by John Farrington, who was a little less glamourous. I was told through the original owner that Keith gave this shirt to the tea lady at the training ground. This I believe and my thoughts are that in season 1973/74 Keith would have worn this for training. In the seventies, the shirts that were played in for one season, were then used as training tops the following season. I don't know about other clubs, but this was definately the case at Leicester. So although I cannot be 100% sure, I believe this shirt would have been worn by John Farrington during 1972 season, then in training by Keith Weller the following season when Keith was given the number 7 shirt.

This is another fantastic match worn shirt from the 70's / 80's. These shirts are extremely hard to find, but well worth keeping if you can get one. Thicker material than the replicas, different size tags, and those wonderful embroidered badges.


This shirt would have been worn by Larry May, who was a great player for Leicester and scored the vital goal at Orient when we were crowned Division 2 Champions under the great Jock Wallace.

A stunning shirt, that would have been worn by Larry May who was a real favourite with the fans.

Shirt size: 41/43
Game Details: West Brom Away 30th March 1984
Worn / Issue: Worn and Laundered


Extremely rare green "unlucky" shirt. Leicester City never won a game in this kit. As well as the shirt being rare, it was worn by Gary Lineker which makes it as special as a shirt could possibly be.


Leicester actually played in two versions of this shirt. The first version had the Ind Coope incorporated into the pattern. The second version (this one) had the Ind Coope Logo transfered on. The number on the back is made of cloth. A wonderful very rare shirt. Do you also remember Ind Coope bitter, it was a superb drink, which is now harder to find than these shirts. It was a superb pint. And if you fancied something stronger, there was Burton bitter, which was generally located at the pump next to the Ind Coope. Those were the days.

This shirt would have been worn by Mark Bright, but also Tony Sealy and the first black player to play for England - Laurie Cunningham. Laurie came to Leicester on loan, I believe from Real Madrid and so I am pleased to have a shirt worn by such a great player.


The shirt has an Admiral logo included in the silk number. I very much doubt this shirt was available as a replica, but I am 100% sure a long sleeved version would definately not been produced as a replica. It has a great history to it this shirt, but it really is a horrible shirt, like a few Leicester had during this period.

This is the second shirt I have of the same design. This number 12 would have been worn by Mark Bright, Tommy Christensen and Robert Jones. A shirt with a less than thrilling history. Nevertheless it is very old and still very rare.

Another shirt purchased at the auction at Leicester City when the old main stand was demolished at Filbert Street.


This shirt would have been mainly worn by either Nicky Cross, who had a knack of scoring goals for Leicester, or Wayne Clarke, who unfortunately didn't.

Worn / Issue: Worn and Laundered



This shirt was obtained from another collector from Leicester who is lucky enough to own a superb collection. This shirt would have been worn in the second half of season 1889/90, when for some reason Leicester changed the design slightly for just the second half of the season. Instead of a Leicester badge in the centre of the shirt, the badge was embroidered onto the left breast, with the scoreline badge being put on the right. This shirt would have been worn by Gary Mills, Richard Smith, Gary Fitzpatrick, Tony James and the late Marc North.

Worn / Issue: Worn and Laundered


Worn versus Ipswich Town on 4th May 1991 by David Kelly.


Although David kelly wore this shirt for the Ipswich game, it will have already been worn by Mark North and Ricky Hill. It is so rare as it would not have been made as a replica, apart from about 6 shirts that were put in the club after the kitman had taken what he needed to make up the players shirts. This is a true fact, the club did put those six or so shirts up for sale in the club shop.
