Playing for the Shirt is a stunning showcase of the greatest known
collection of match-worn West Ham United shirts. The book features
a beautiful array of match-worn shirts from 1951 to the present
day, from the old heavy cotton shirts of yesteryear to the
high-tech shirts made of lightweight, breathable fibres for
today’s athletes. In hunting down these precious cotton and
polyester gems, lifelong Hammers fan Mick Clifford embarked on a
journey to preserve the club’s past for fans of all ages. This
eye-catching book is filled with superb photographs of worn shirts
from the most famous players ever to don the celebrated East London
club’s claret and blue colours – legends such as Bobby Moore,
Billy Bonds, Trevor Brooking, Tony Cottee, Frank McAvennie, Paolo
Di Canio, Julian Dicks, Dimitri Payet and Mark Noble. Playing for
the Shirt captures moments in time, with a fascinating insight into
how the West Ham shirt evolved. Each match-worn shirt tells a
different story.
