Manchester Utd 1968 'Best' Shirt with No7

George Best is widely acknowledged to have been one of the greatest football players of all time, mainly remembered for his halcyon days with Manchester United FC.

He played for the Northern Ireland football team, but their lack of success during the peak of Best's career meant that, regrettably, he never was able to display his unique talent on the world stage.

Best had a rare combination of pace, blistering acceleration, balance, two-footedness, goalscoring prowess and the ineffable ability to run through entire defences.

He played for United as a winger between 1963 and 1974, helping them to win the Football League Championship in 1965 and 1967, and the European Cup in 1968.

He was named European Footballer of the Year and Football Writers' Association Player of the Year in 1968, Indeed, Brazilian Pelé, often said to be the greatest player of all time, once called Best "the greatest footballer in the world".

The great Diego Maradona regarded Best equally highly. Best's brilliance is often summed up in one sentence: Maradona good, Pelé better, George Best

Comes with No7 and 'Best' screenprinted

In the late nineteenth century Manchester United were a very unremarkable club indeed. They were formed by railway workers, they were originally known as Newton Heath LYR (the suffix stood for Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway) and purchased a uniform strip of jerseys in green and gold, the colours of the parent company. The club's reputation grew and in 1889, the Heathens had joined the Football Alliance, formed as rivals to the Football League

We’d just like to say that through no specific marketing activities by ourselves, the Newton Heath shirt is flying out of our doors

TOFFS’ has decided to donate 10% of the profits of this shirt to the Alderhay Children’s Hospital. We have donated monies to the Hospital previously from sales of the 1958 Manchester United shirt.

The 1909 FA Cup Final was a football match played on 24 April 1909 in front of 71,401 spectators. The match was contested by Manchester United and Bristol City at Crystal Palace. Manchester United won by a single goal, scored by Sandy Turnbull. This was the first of United's record eleven FA Cup titles to date.

Manchester Utd 1970 'Best' Shirt with No7

Born May 22, 1946 in Belfast, George Best was, in some eyes, the greatest talent the game of Football has ever seen.

He was football's first superstar and his fans considered it a tragedy when he walked out on Manchester United in 1972 at the age of 27.

Best had it all, superb balance, two good feet, brilliant dribbling skills, a powerful shot, he was even good in the air.

1999 FA Cup Final - Manchester United v Newcastle United DVD Special Commemorative Edition

As United lined up for the final FA Cup showdown of the decade, they were records to be broken. Not only chasing their 4th FA Cup win of the decade and a record 10th overall, they were also on the verge of clinching an unbelievable 3rd double of the 1990's, as well as vying for the unprecedented treble, with the European Cup Final just days away

Facing Newcastle, who had lost out at Wembley the previous season, the Magpies were desperate to add silverware after years of trying, but United had other ideas, and after the drama of the semi-final clash at Villa Park against arch-rivals Arsenal, they proved just too good on the day, despite losing Roy Keane after only 9 minutes

But it was a stroke of tactical master-class from Ferguson that led to United's opener. Bringing on Teddy Sherringham to replace Keane, Solskjaer moved onto the right of midfield and Beckham switched to a central role, with Sherringham now partnered with Scholes in attack, and within 100 seconds of stepping onto the field, it was the substitute who orchestrated a move that he finished himself by firing through the legs of Harper. United looked in control, and after a brief Newcastle revival at the start of the second half, it was United who struck again. This time it was Sherringham who was the provider, as he laid the ball into the path of Scholes, who made no mistake in firing home from the edge of the box

Looking to wrap it up, United swarmed forward, and could quite possibly have had 3 or 4 more, with Sherringham going closest with a chip that agonizingly hit the bar. But 2-0 it remained, and part 2 of 3 was complete. Next stop was Barcelona, but first enjoy this one over again, as United created footballing history

Manchester United v Liverpool – 1977 FA Cup Final

Back at Wembley, Manchester United were determined to make amends for their previous year’s defeat to Southampton. But facing treble chasing Liverpool, the Merseysiders were odds on favourite to clinch the Cup.

The match was a tight affair, as both teams successfully managed to cancel each other out. But then came a frantic five minutes just after half time, which saw the trophy heading back to Old Trafford for the 4th time in their history.

Pearson opened the scoring for United when he smashed the ball past Clemence from twenty yards on 50 minutes. However, the joy was short lived, as Case superbly equalised only two minutes later. But just as Liverpool hopes were revived, United struck again on 55 minutes.

After Greenhoff had seized upon Tommy Smith’s mistake, Lou Macari’s goal-bound shot took a telling deflection past a stranded Ray Clemence, to make it 2-1 and advantage United.

Liverpool fought hard to equalise, and Ray Kennedy rattled the bar in the closing stages, but it was United’s day as they avenged the heart-ache suffered 12 months earlier and denied their Northwest rivals of the much-coveted treble.

Featuring the post match interviews as they happened on the day – this is a true collectors item.

Manchester Utd Vs Millwall 2004 FA Cup Final DVD.

In their first ever FA Cup Final appearance at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, since it moved to the Welsh Capital, it was a day of numbers as United triumphed for a record eleventh time in their sixteenth FA Cup Final; Millwall made their inaugural first Cup Final appearance and Alex Ferguson got his hands back on the trophy that had served him so well for the fifth time.

It took forty-four minutes for the deadlock to be broken, but it was well worth waiting for, as Christiano Ronaldo powered a close range header past Marshall in Millwall's goal. The goal was well deserved, as the young Portuguese international had been a thorn in Millwall's right hand side for much of the first half, setting the FA Cup Final stage alight with a showcase of magical tricks.

Features Top Ten FA Cup Goals from the 2003-04 season and extended interviews.

Manchester United v Brighton & Hove Albion 1983 FA Cup Final

Whilst the scoreline of the replay suggests otherwise, the 1983 FA Cup Final came so close to turning the form books upside down and producing the shock of the season, as Gary Bailey denied Gordon Smith and Brighton & Hove Albion from following in the footsteps of Southampton in 1976, and forcing the replay that United would comfortably win.

After Brighton had taken the lead in the first half, United hit back with two second half goals from Frank Stapleton and Ray Wilkins, and were seemingly heading towards their fifth FA Cup Final triumph, but a late equaliser from Gary Stevens with only three minutes remaining, brought the tie level, and in the end United had to be content with a replay as Gordon Smith missed a glorious chance to shower his team with FA Cup glory, and five days later they would be back at Wembley fighting it out once again.

But this time around the difference in league standings was clear to see, as United produced a performance that was indicative of their unbeaten home record in the league, and clinched the Cup by the biggest margin since Bury defeated Derby 6-0 in 1903.

Two goals in five minutes mid-way through the first half by Bryan Robson and then by the youngest Cup Final scorer, Norman Whiteside, just 18 at the time, set United on course, and Robson’s second before half time put them beyond reach. Arnold Muhren completed the scoring from the penalty spot on 63 minutes, and the trophy was heading back to Old Trafford. Norman Whiteside became the youngest player to score in a Wembley final, and United had won the cup for the fifth time on Sir Matt Busby’s 74th birthday.

With the full uninterrupted 90 minutes of the replay along with goals from the first match, there’s nothing quite like an emphatic United victory in the World’s most famous cup competition.

Manchester Utd v Crystal Palace 1990 FA Cup Final

Attempting to join Villa and Spurs as seven-time winners of the Cup, United faced Crystal Palace whose previous best run in the competition had seen them reach the semi-finals in 1976. But in uncharted territories, Palace held United to a 3-3 draw in the first clash before returning to Wembley to do it all again.

But who knew then, on that Thursday evening in May that it would mark one of the biggest turning points in the Club’s history, as the rest of the decade would be littered with unparalleled success. After 4 years without triumph, Alex Ferguson’s reign at the helm of the Club was looking uncertain; patience was running low, but to the eternal credit of the board, they kept faith with the ambitious Scotsman, and United got their rewards.

Unlike the first match, the replay was a tight affair, and the first half past without a goal being scored. But as the game wore on, and United began to create, Webb went down the right and hit an accurate cross that evaded the Palace defence, Lee Martin controlled and smashed the ball into the Palace net.

United continued to dominate, but were unable to add to the scoreline. Robson hit the crossbar, but 1-0 it remained. The Cup was on its way back to Old Trafford, and Bryan Robson became the first player to lift the FA Cup three times at Wembley as Captain.

It was an historic day for both the Club and Alex Ferguson. Now relive the whole match once again, with all the goals from the first match included in this special feature.

Manchester Utd v Chelsea 1994 FA Cup Final

Chasing the Club’s first ever domestic double, United headed into the 1994 FA Cup Final as firm favourites to achieve what no other United team had done before. But whilst the season was very much full of joy on the pitch, it was marred by the untimely passing of Sir Matt Busby off it. However, as one United legacy was fondly remembered, another one was being created.

As the rain poured down over Wembley, the match started slowly, and Chelsea who had beaten United twice in the league already in the season, had the better of the opening exchanges. Gavin Peacock was the closest to breaking the deadlock with a fierce dipping volley that crashed against the bar, but it remained goalless.

However, after 60 minutes, the game changed completely as United found the kind of form that had enabled them to clinch the Premiership trophy for the second season running. Eric Cantona scored first from the spot, and then 6 minutes later he did exactly the same again, as another Chelsea offence led to a United penalty, and Cantona stepped-up to make it 2-0. United were now red-hot and Mark Hughes all but sealed the victory 2 minutes later as he smashed the ball under a despairing Kharine.

It was all United, and the icing was on the cake in the final minute, as another slick move ended with Brian McClair making it 4-0. The double was complete in dramatic style, and Steve Bruce climbed the Wembley steps to equal Spurs record of 8 FA Cup triumphs.

A magnificent day to relive over and over again when United realised their ‘double dream’.

Manchester Utd v Liverpool 1996 FA Cup Final

With United gunning for their second double in three seasons, this final brought back memories of the 1977 final, when these two rivals met for the first time beneath the ‘Twin Towers’, and United denied the Merseysiders of the double, but 19 years later, United weren’t to be denied, and the double double was complete in successive seasons.

United started with confidence, and Beckham struck a ‘bullet-shot’ that James did well to save in the opening exchanges. But the expected breakthrough didn’t follow, and tension mounted. The 1st half passed and the 2nd continued in a similar manner as extra time loomed.

But with 85 minutes played Beckham sent over an out-swinging corner, which James only managed to parry and newly crowned ‘Footballer of the Year’ Eric Cantona pounced. The Frenchman, within an instant re-positioned himself and drove the ball back through a crowded penalty area and into the net.

It had been a remarkable year for the hugely talented Cantona, who had marked his return to football after an absence of 8 years with an awe-inspiring season that didn’t go unnoticed by the critics.

“You don’t win anything with kids” said former Liverpool player and pundit Alan Hansen at the start of that season about United’s young team. Nine months later, these same kids had won the double and had made their mark in football history. So now relive this day in history once again, when Eric Cantona became the first Frenchman to lead his team up the Wembley steps and receive the Cup for a record 9th time for the Club.

Manchester Utd v Newcastle United 1999 FA Cup Final

As the red devils lined up for the final FA Cup showdown of the decade, they were records to be broken. Not only chasing their 4th FA Cup win of the decade and a record 10th overall, they were also on the verge of clinching an unbelievable 3rd double of the 1990’s, as well as vying for the unprecedented treble, with the European Cup Final just days away.

Facing Newcastle United, who had lost out at Wembley the previous season, the Magpies were desperate to add silverware after years of trying, but the Red Devils had other ideas, and after the drama of the semi-final clash at Villa Park against arch-rivals Arsenal, they proved just too good on the day, despite losing Roy Keane after only 9 minutes.

But it was a stroke of tactical master-class from Ferguson that led to United’s opener. Bringing on Teddy Sherringham to replace Keane, Solskjaer moved onto the right of midfield and Beckham switched to a central role, with Sherringham now partnered with Scholes in attack, and within 100 seconds of stepping onto the field, it was the substitute who orchestrated a move that he finished himself by firing through the legs of Harper.

Salfords finest looked in control, and after a brief Newcastle revival at the start of the second half, it was the Champions who struck again. This time it was Sherringham who was the provider, as he laid the ball into the path of Scholes, who made no mistake in firing home from the edge of the box.

Looking to wrap it up, Man U swarmed forward, and could quite possibly have had 3 or 4 more, with Sherringham going closest with a chip that agonizingly hit the bar. But 2-0 it remained, and part 2 of 3 was complete. Next stop was Barcelona, but first enjoy this one over again, as Fergusons side created footballing history.

Manchester United vs SL Benfica 1968 European Cup Final 29th May 1968 DVD

Manchester Uniteds dream of capturing the coverted European Cup was finally fulfilled on a balmy, never-to-be-forgotten, night at the Wembley Stadium. It was the dramatic conclusion to a twelve year quest to claim the enormous trophy, which had began, under the guidance of legendary manager Matt Busby, in 1956 when United became the first English club to enter the competition.

An near capacity crowd packed Wembley for the eagerly-awaited clash, but it wasn't until the second half the the contest really got into its stride. Bobby Charlton gave United the lead early in the second half, but with ten minutes remaining Jamie Graca scored to put Benfica on level terms.

No further goals in normal time meant that an extra half hour was required to decide the destination of the gleaming trophy, but United didn't need that long for within ten minutes George Best, Brian Kidd, (on his 19th birthday), and Bobby Charlton had scored to put United on course for glory.

It was a particularly poignant occasion for Busby, Charlton and Foulkes for they had survived the Munich Air Disaster of ten years earlier when 23 people, including 11 players and staff, perished on the snowy wastes of a Bavarian airfield when their plane crashed after two previous attempts to take-off had been aborted. The United party had stopped off in the German city to re-fuel on their journey home from a European cup-tie against Red Star in Belgrade.

Manchester United had become English football's first ever 'Kings of Europe' and twenty four hours later there were close on a million people thronging Central Manchester when the team paraded the European Cup through the streets.

It was the pinnacle of achievement for the club at the time and the triumph was further recognised soon after when Matt Busby was knighted in the Queens Birthday Honours List.
