A rare red Aertex England international jersey 1985, a short-sleeved No.20, the numbering in the form of stitched cloth with old style Umbro font This Aertex variation of the red England away jersey introduced in 1984 was only worn in one competitive match. This being the match played at high altitude and temperature in the Azteca Stadium, Mexico City, against West Germany during the Ciudad de Mexico Cup mini tournament on 12th June 1985. From the high numbering this appears to have been a reserve's jersey and was brought back to England as a souvenir by Kerry Dixon who wore the No.9 jersey in the match and scored two of England's goals in the 3-0 win. It was subsequently acquired by the present vendor directly from Kerry Dixon.
