In fact prior to that the 1958 World Cup was the only major tournament they had qualified for. But if you want to get a classic Wales football shirt there are plenty to choose from:STEVE SAYS…Buy From: Classic Football ShirtsClassic Football Shirts set themselves apart from many other companies by the fact that their shirts are all original shirts from the dates listed, not reproductions trying to replicate a classic shirt. All shirts come with condition details – ie whether they are in Mint Condition, As New, etc, etc. The prices are slightly higher but you are really getting a piece of history.1976 Home ShirtThey have around 100 classic Wales shirts and pieces of kit from the 70s to the present day. You can pick up the ultra-rare 1976-79 home shirt (above left). This retro football shirt was made by Admiral, who produced some great shirts in the 70s and early 80s.It has a vintage late 70’s design, and was worn in qualification for both the 1978 World Cup and 1980 European Championships by such Wales legends as John Toshack, Mickey Thomas and future Wales Manager Terry Yorath.Wales finished rock bottom of their three-team qualifying group for the 1978 World Cup, losing to Scotland twice and beating Czechoslovakia 3-0 but losing the return match 1-0.They did fare slightly better in qualifying for the 1980 European Championships, but still finished third in their four-team group. They got off to a flyer though, starting with a 7-0 win against Malta. The game saw Ian Edwards score four goals, his only four goals for Wales in one of just four caps. They then beat Turkey 1-0 and saw group favorites West Germany start with surprising 0-0 draws against Malta and then Turkey. Unfortunately West Germany then won all four of their games and Wales just one.1993 Away ShirtYou can also get the classic 1993-95 away shirt (above right). This umbro produced shirt is also very rare as it was used only for one season during qualification for the Euro ‘96 tournament.Despite having such players as Mark Hughes, Dean Saunders, Ian Rush, Gary Speed and Neville Southall, Wales slipped to embarrassing defeats against Moldova and Georgia in qualification which saw manager Mike Smith sacked and replaced by Bobby Gould. Wales finished fifth in their six-team qualifying group, but were the only team to take points off group winners Germany in their own backyard, gaining a 1-1 draw in Dusseldorf. They ran them close in Cardiff too, with Germany needing a Jurgen Klinsmann goal with ten minutes to go to secure a 2-1 win.Unfortunately things got even worse under Gould whose tenure included a 7-1 defeat to the Netherlands.&gt;&gt;&gt; View the Classic Football Shirts selection of retro Wales shirts for sale &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; View the Vintage Football Shirts selection of retro Wales shirts for sale &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; View the selection of retro Wales shirts for sale on Amazon &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; View the TOFF selection of retro Wales shirts for sale &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; See what other classic football shirts are available &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;My name is Steve and I am HUGE football fan and, in particular, a HUGE Everton&nbsp;fan!I am also a lover of all things retro – whether that be TV, music or clothing, but in particular I love classic football shirts from the 60s, 70s and 80s.I’ve picked up a few over the years and now have quite a collection, including my favourite, as shown above, the 1985 European Cup Winners’ Cup Final shirt.Recent Posts
