Peru 1978 World Cup shirt. Peru’s opening match of the 1978 World Cup was against Scotland who went a a goal up after 14 minutes when Joe Jordan snapped up a chance from Quiroga’s parry. On the stroke of half-time, Cubillas passed to Cueto who equalised beyond Alan Rough (pictured). Just after the hour mark, Scotland won a penalty but Don Masson’s shot to Quiroga’s left was tame and waist high and was easily saved. Peru needed no further invitation to take control and in the 72nd minute Peru took the lead when Cubillas stroked a wonderful shot with the outside of his right foot past Alan Rough. Five minutes later, Cubillas extended the lead, rifling a shot to Rough’s right from just outside the box. Peru went on to top the group but crashed out at he second group stage after being thrashed by Argentina and Brazil.

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"
