History and heritage

This jersey represents the 1986-1987 season, which followed the fantastic League and Cup double of 1985-1986. Even though Liverpool did not repeat this feat that year, the club remained one of the giants of English football under the leadership of Kenny Dalglish.

Some key elements of the period:

• John Barnes arrived shortly after this time and marked a turning point in the club's history

• Ian Rush made his first appearance in Italy before returning

• The team remains among the best in the country thanks to a strong team spirit.

The long-sleeved version is particularly sought after as it evokes winter matches, big duels in the First Division and the authentic style of that mythical decade.

Details and advice

• Long-sleeved version ideal for lovers of authentic pieces

• Loose fit true to the period, comfortable to wear or display

• Gentle washing is recommended to preserve the embroidery and screen printing.

• Perfect for completing an 80s retro collection
