Czechoslovakia 1976 European Champions. This is the shirt made famous by the floating leaf penalty with which Anton Panenka beat Sepp Maier at the end of the penalty shoot out in the 1976 European Championship final held in Belgrade. The Czechs had not been favoured to win through their qualifying group (containing England) but they won a tortuous way through to the final, surviving a last minute equaliser in Belgrade before Panenka’s famous spot kick turned German faces as red as the Czech shirts.

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"
