Shirt Search - Urgent

[idleurchin]

My brother (and idol growing up) passed away last week following a traumatic battle with cancer.

We’ve been asked to wear United shirts to the funeral and I’d dearly love to get one of those retro 84-86 shirts that were for sale a while ago, as 1985 was the year my brother started taking me to the lane, when I was 6.

Any help would be dearly appreciated. Been looking online but can’t seem to find any from that period.

Worst comes to worst, I’ll buy a modern one.

1985 to 86



This one do you mate? Sorry to hear of your loss! He has a few other sizes on his profile too FYI

Sorry for your loss and hope you are able to find the shirt.

Just in case you haven't tried, Vinted might be worth a search. I just had a quick scan but not many show the years.

Sorry for your loss.

I've looked as well and can't see that particular shirt in Medium on eBay or Vinted either.

Maybe someone can lend it to you.

I've got loads, but not that one. Have you a second choice?

That link doesn’t work mate. Had a look on there already and couldn’t find any.

Probs me being thick.

 

[brownblade]

This isn't any help. But I'm stunned to find someone on eBay had a Blades shirt with 3 Lowe on the back

I also can't see the shirt on that retro website link idleurchin

Time for a second or third choice shirt? Good luck.

 

[blackydog]

Nearest I have. Thought I had retro Laver but can't find it.

No, they have a habit of their "Umbro replica" stuff disappearing off the site and suddenly showing up again. If you contact them directly they should have it

I've got the away version in a medium that you're welcome to borrow if it helps. I'll put a pic up shortly.

Sorry for your loss buddy. I will ask a few friends.

Just out of curiosity so I can ask them, would you want to borrow if for the day or to purchase it as i know some friends will not want to get rid as they have a collection they want to pass down to kids/grandkids etc?

Cheers for that. I'll let you know cuz I think I've nearly sorted it now.

 

[idleurchin]

All sorted now. Picking one up next week. Wouldn't have found one if I'd not posted on here, as the Sheffield Retro shop doesn't have any in medium.

Proper made my day.

All read and white shirts for the service, save for my other brother, who's (inexplicably) a W*dn*sd*y fan.
