Poland 1970's Away This is the shirt made famous by Lubanski, Lato, Deyna and 'the Clown' at Wembley in 1973. Before the game Deyna was asked by a journalist whether he felt fearful because Poland had never beaten England at Wembley replied 'Ah yes, but we don't have to win'. And, accordingly, the Poles drew the match and qualified for Germany where they distinguished themselves, taking a deserved third place. But it's this shirt which Poles hold dear; this shirt that got them to Germany in the first place. Pictured is the goalkeep hero Jan Tomaszewski who had infamously been labelled a 'clown' by Brian Clough before the qualifier against England. This shirt is long sleeved and made from knitted cotton.

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"
