AN ICONIC SCOTTISH RUGBY UNION RUGBY WORLD CUP JERSEY WORN BY DAVID SOLE

SCOTTISH RUGBY UNION RUGBY WORLD CUP JERSEY,
worn by David Sole in the Semi-Final of the 1991 Rugby World Cup, Umbro label, framed and under glass with letter of authenticity signed by the player, 65cm x 88cm overall

Note: This jersey was the one which was worn by captain David Sole in the semi-final of the 1991 Rugby World Cup played against England at Murrayfield. Whilst the match ended in a gruelling 6-9 defeat, this jersey is somewhat unique as the sleeves are cut (one shorter than the other). They were cut prior to the game to try and prevent illegalities occurring in the front row during the fixture.
