Viv Anderson's football shirt, symbolizing his groundbreaking role as the first black player for England in international football, failed to sell at a recent auction, falling just short of the estimated price.
Anderson expressed disappointment over the failure of his debut jersey to meet the reserve price, despite highlighting the positive interest in other items from his distinguished career during the auction.
The auction included over 100 lots, showcasing Anderson's various career memorabilia, with items like his tracksuit sold for £2,000, but many items were underwhelming in their bids.
The former defender highlighted that the auction was a necessary step for him and his family, indicating a desire to pass the benefits of his legacy on to his children.
