The Prize

Take home this white New York Cosmos home shirt worn by Dutch football legend Johan Cruijff for a 1978 season match.

This is a unique shirt, which marked Cruijff's return to football following his temporary retirement. The Dutchman decided to resume his professional career with the New York Cosmos, playing just two friendlies before changing teams.

This item comes from the private collection of the former Brazilian footballer Alfonsinho, given to him by German former defender Franz Beckenbauer when he played for the Cosmos in 1977, and it comes with a letter of origin signed by his sister Maria Auxiliadora Garcia Reis Castro Decaro.

Features:

- White long-sleeved home shirt
- Worn by Johan Cruijff
- Washed
- New York Cosmos emblem stitched on chest
- Three stars sewn on the chest
- Sponsor Athlete
- Name and number sewn into fabric
- #30, Size absent

This item was part of the match supply for the squad, was made available to the players on matchday and has particular characteristics that make it different from products found on general sale.
