Wales Cymru FAW Official Gift Mens Retro 1958/1976/1984 Football Kit Shirt Red

Product Information

Manager of Northampton Dave Bowen rejected the role, and it was given to the Head of Coaching of the Welsh Football Association – Mike Smith. Winning it three times (1919-20, 1923-24 and 1927-28). The 1923-24 Wales Team was a particularly strong one winning all three games in the competition, scoring five goals and only conceding one. You can also get the classic 1993-95 away shirt (above right). This umbro produced shirt is also very rare as it was used only for one season during qualification for the Euro ‘96 tournament. Wales did not play a team outside the four home nations until 1932 when they hosted the Republic of Ireland. During the 20s Wales competed each year in the British Home Championships.

Unfortunately things got even worse under Gould whose tenure included a 7-1 defeat to the Netherlands. This shirt marked a centenary since the formation of the Welsh Football Association and also marked the period when Wales employed a full-time manager for the first time – until then it had been carried out on a part-time basis.

TOFFS (which stands for The Old Fashioned Football Shirt) specialise in handcrafted, vintage football shirts made to the highest quality in the North of England – with each shirt as close to the real thing as possible. Classic Football Shirts set themselves apart from many other companies by the fact that their shirts are all original shirts from the dates listed, not reproductions trying to replicate a classic shirt. All shirts come with condition details – ie whether they are in Mint Condition, As New, etc, etc. The prices are slightly higher but you are really getting a piece of history.

They did fare slightly better in qualifying for the 1980 European Championships, but still finished third in their four-team group. They got off to a flyer though, starting with a 7-0 win against Malta. The game saw Ian Edwards score four goals, his only four goals for Wales in one of just four caps. They then beat Turkey 1-0 and saw group favorites West Germany start with surprising 0-0 draws against Malta and then Turkey. Unfortunately West Germany then won all four of their games and Wales just one. It was a successful start for Smith as they won their qualifying group to make their way to the 1976 European Championships that were held in Yugoslavia.

Vintage Football Shirts also offer original shirts rather than reproductions with each shirt marked for its condition – from BNIB (brand new in bag) to Excellent (may have tiny defect, may not be noticeable). They too have around 100 Wales shirts ranging from the 80s to the present day. Thank you for shopping at Giftware Wales. We value your business and aim to provide you with exceptional products and service. You can get an extremely rare 1984 match issue home shirt (above left) that was actually worn by the Wales number 7 during the 1984-86 period. During and after the match irate Welsh fans tried to invade the pitch and Wales were given a two-year ban from international football. This was later reduced to a fine.
