*** LEEDS UTD MATCH WORN/ISSUE COCA-COLA CUP FINAL SHIRT ***
Below is a fantastic shirt worn by Carlton Palmer in the Coca-Cola Cup 1996 Final. The match was played at Wembley with Aston Villa being the worthy winners. The shirt has been signed by the entire squad on the front of the shirt. Player shirts differ to replica shirts by the unique game details embroided in the chest area.
*** NEIL SULLIVAN MATCH ISSUE 2005/06 PLAY-OFF FINAL SHIRT ***
The shirt was issued to Neil Sullivan for the Coca-Cola Championship Play-Off Final at the Millennium Stadium. The match ended in a 3-0 victory for Watford which clinched them a place in the Premiership. The shirt has the unique game details embroided around the club crest. These shirts were never available to buy and are very rare. The shirt comes from a great source as it was obtained from Leeds player Ben Parker (who I know).
*** PLAY-OFF FINAL SPARE PLAYER SHIRT***
The shirt was a spare for the Play-Off Final on the 21/05/2006. The shirt does not have a name/number on the back and is more likely to be one of the spares that are kept on the bench encase any player needs a temporary replacement shirt. The shirt still has all the differences to seperate it from that of a replica which includes the unique match embroidery. This shirt was obtained directly from a source within the Millennium stadium.
*** CASPER ANKERGREN MATCH WORN/ISSUE PLAY-OFF FINAL SHIRT ***
Here is a brilliant shirt worn by Leeds goalkeeper Casper Ankergren during the Play-Off Final at Wembley. The game ended in a 1-0 victory for Doncaster; however Casper was Leeds' man of the match and certainly kept Leeds in the game right until the final whistle. The shirt has all the differences to seperate it from a replica including the unique game details embroided into the shirt.
*** PAUL HUNTINGTON MATCH WORN PLAY-OFF FINAL SHIRT/SHORTS ***
The shirt was worn by Paul Huntington in the Coca-Cola Play-Off final at Wembley. The shirt has the unique embroidery around the club crest stating the game details. These shirts are very rare and were never available to buy commercially. The shirt is 100% genuine and was obtained from Leeds player Ben Parker (who I know). I also have the shorts to go with it which are very different to replica shorts.
*** DARREN KENTON MATCH ISSUE PLAY-OFF FINAL SHIRT ***

** LEEDS UTD MATCH WORN/ISSUE ''GARY KELLY TESTIMONIAL'' SHIRT **
The shirt was worn/issued to Jacob Burns (I believe?) for the Gary Kelly Testimonial Match at Elland Road. The game was played against Celtic on the 7/5/2002 to celebrate Gary Kelly's 10 years service to the club. The shirt has been signed by Gary Kelly on the front. The shirt has all the differences that seperate it from a replica including the ''Gary Kelly Testimonial'' match details embroided into the chest. It is important to note that no replica's were made with this embroidery and these shirts are very hard to find.
*** VINNIE JONES MATCH WORN ''LUCAS RADEBE TESTIMONIAL'' SHIRT ***
The shirt was worn by Leeds legend Vinnie Jones in the Lucas Radebe Testimonial Match. The game was played at the end of the 2004/05 season to say farewell to Lucas Radebe. The shirt has been signed by both Vinnie Jones and Lucas Radebe on the front. The shirt is unwashed and covered in mud/grass stains from match use. The shirt has all the differences that seperate it from a replica including the ''Rhodar'' logo on the back. The shirt also has the ''Lucas Radebe Testimonial'' logo embroided into the sleeve. These shirts are very rare as no replicas were ever made and most players that were involved in the game kept their shirts.
