Jairzinho started his career with Brazilian club side Botafogo where he made is debut at just 15 years old. Initially, Jairzinho was forced to play on the left wing as the player’s hero and former great Garrincha played in his favoured position on the right. Following the retirement of Garrincha after the 1966 World Cup Jairzinho was moved to right wing for both club and country which is where the player achieved his greatest success. Jairzinho went on to record his place in the history books by scoring in every round of the 1970 World Cup Finals. In total he scored 33 goals in 81 games for Brazil. Brazilian Classics is a collection of club and international replica shirts worn by members of the famous 1970 Brazil team. Each shirt comes complete with an embroidered signature of one of the former Brazilian greats as well as a number 7.

Growing up in the 70's you were forced to pick a football team very early on and schooldays were made up of ribbing your mates if your team beat theirs so you always picked the top teams and not necessarily the local team (Leyton Orient weren't noted for their first division presence) to avoid the abuse if your team lost.
It's with regard to these memories that I'm exceptionally pleased to tell you that we've teamed up with the UK's leading online retro football shirt merchant to bring you all the old retro football shirts our heroes used to wear whilst we watched them on the terraces or on "The Big Match"
