[Albion] 1985/86 Red Brighton shirt

[The Albion Roar]

*Please delete this, Bozza, if it's inappropriate.*

VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY

The Albion Roar, through www.oldfootballshirts.com, is auctioning a match-worn 1985/86 red Brighton shirt (with No.9 on the back) between now and March 8th. The red shirts were most famously worn (though not for the first time) on 15 February 1986 at London Road, Peterborough in the FA Cup - a match well remembered for the snow-bound pitch, and the dangerously overcrowded away end (a sign of things to come three years later).

Only one set was ever made, (no replicas of this shirt were ever made - not even moody ones).

All proceeds from the auction will be split evenly between three charities -

• St Barnabas House, Worthing
• The Brighton Foodbank
• Cancer Research UK

Good luck, everyone.

If I could afford it, I'd bid a thousand pounds for it. Do we bid here? If we do I'll kick off with £100

Of course, it would help if I put a link in.

Which I've now done.

Good luck.

Thanks, delighted to see it up to 300 quid in just a few hours. Hope it raises a fortune, it's absolutely glorious.

Unfortunately it's b&w and not particularly clear that is is even Justin but it looks like him.

Beautiful shirt. If I had the money I'd bid for it. Good luck with the auction.

You're right, I think what threw me was I didn't think that was Perry Digweed on the floor so assumed it was up the other end.

We know that Fashanu wore number 9 in the Peterborough game (his last for the Albion). Anyone know what other games the red shirt was worn in?
