On the 1st of March of this year I started a topic called Liverpool FC related collections which had 93 viewings and absolutely ZERO replys which I was amazed at considering the passion of your average Liverpool fan. I have seen a similar thread started since but can't find it on the forum.
The topic was self explanatory so I was wondering if people actually collected LFC memorabilia or was it just me?!
I thought what could I collect that reflects my passion for Liverpool FC? The answer was so obvious - shirts and kits!
My original post was as follows...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been collecting various LFC shirts during the past 3 years. I have about 30 from different seasons, both home and away.
My favourite is the green, white and black Adidas away shirt from 1992 - It has "RUSH" and "9" on the rear, I paid £20 for it on Ebay and it came from Russia (Rushia!). I have since met Ian Rush and he signed it for me!
I also have a "Farewell to the Spion Kop 1906-1994" T-shirt again original from Ebay!
I missed out on a classic shirt by £5 just after the heroics of Istanbul in 2005. It was an authentic Champions League Final shirt (with the venue, date, badges etc) signed by 30 members of the Liverpool Staff and Squad. I started bidding at £120 but then got sucked into the Ebay "Gotta win it" trip!
With 6 seconds of bidding left I thought I'd won it but at the death a final bid of £230 came in and won beating my bid by 5 poxy quid!! I emailed the winner to congratulate them saying if they were a true Red this was like a European Cup all of their own. It turned out that the winner was in the Attuturk Stadium that very night and had the ticket, programme and now a very special shirt to frame for all time!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And that brings me on to the reason behind my post.
Tonight I have won 2 Liverpool shirts from Ebay, one is pretty popular, the othe very, very rare!
The 1st is a 2006/08 Champions League Red shirt with "Gerrard 8" on the reverse complete with CL football patch and the blue European Cup 5 badge. Price £16.01. Bargain!
The next is a Limited Edition shirt to commemorate Juventus meeting Liverpool in the CL Quarter Finals in 2005.
The add was as follows...
You are bidding on BNWT Juventus away shirt manufactured by Nike. This is an authentic Nike item, not an Asian fake!!
What makes this item so special is that it contains on the chest, the Champions League Trophy, along with the game and venue details from the 2005 quarter final matches against Liverpool, (see pics).
Only 20 of these shirts were ever produced so this is truly a one off opportunity to own a piece of history.
Size XLarge.
Surely this has to be one of the greatest Juventus shirts ever to be offered and will look fantastic either worn at the game, or framed for home/office display.
No fakes here!!! NO RESERVE on this item!!!!!! Happy bidding!!!

A great way to start the weekend! And two more shirts for the collection!
