Rare 1974 British & I Lions Signed & Matchworn Jersey

Rare 1974 British & I Lions Signed & Matchworn Jersey: Recently-deceased Llanelli, Wales, Barbarians and Lions fly half and later captain, the legendary Phil Bennett's 1974 jersey from the second test at Pretoria on the Unbeaten Lions' great tour to SA some fifty years ago. It has been boldly but neatly signed by Phil in black marker below the badge. Umbro make, 42", with Lions crest and to rear, stitched white cloth 10. It has been washed and that familiar faint pinkish resultant tinge can be seen to parts of the white collar etc. He had scored an iconic 50-metre try in that test, was of course the sidestepping catalyst for the 'try of all time' by Gareth Edwards for the 1973 Baabaas v NZ and had helped Llanelli beat the same All Blacks three months earlier. One of the true greats of the Welsh, British and World game. A fantastic chance to own this superbly historic item. Comes with an account of his career, hand signed by himself and by fellow Lion, JPR Williams. VG
