Roberto Rivelino: a yellow Brazil No 11 World Cup 1970 jersey worn in the match v England, Short sleeved, crew-neck collar with green trim and embroidered Brazil CBD logo, manufactured by Athleta. This shirt was worn by Roberto Rivelino during the second half of the epic group round match versus England played at the Jalisco Stadium, Guadalajara, Mexico on 7th June 1970. Long recognised as one of the greatest games ever played during a World Cup tournament, Brazil eventually won the game through a Jairzinho goal in the 59th minute. One of the most iconic sporting images is that of Bobby Moore and Pele exchanging shirts at the end of the game. The shirt was gained as a swap after the match by England trainer Les Cocker. Letter of provenance is supplied by a member of the Cocker family. Roberto Rivelino is often named in the top five Brazilian players of all time. He was particularly famous for his thunderous left-foot shot, outrageous long range free kicks and exquisite passing skills. He also invented the football move known as the 'Elastico' or 'Flip Flap,' a move designed to wrong step the defender. He played in a staggering 122 games for Brazil scoring 43 goals. He scored three goals at Mexico '70 including a trademark 'Patada Atomica' free-kick against the Czechs. Rivelino also played in the 1974 & 1978 World Cups. He is also attributed as scoring the fastest ever goal in history, direct from the kick-off when he noticed the goalkeeper was still on his knees completing his pre-match prayers as the referee blew his whistle.
