Viv Anderson’s historic shirt fails to sell at auction

In all, more than 100 lots were auctioned including dozens of other caps and shirts from across his career, with many selling for between £500 and £14,000.

The total hammer price was just over £135,000.

Following the auction, Anderson said he was “disappointed the main shirt didn’t sell, but pleased there was plenty of interest in the other items”.

He added he would decide on what to do with his debut jersey after speaking to the auction house, which conducted the sale at Manchester’s Old Trafford cricket ground.

Anderson made 30 appearances for England over 10 years and was part of four World Cup and European Championship squads.

At club level, as well as a league championship and two European Cup wins at Forest, he was part of the Arsenal and Manchester United squads which won the 1987 League Cup and 1990 FA Cup.

He went on to captain a Sheffield Wednesday side which finished runners-up in both the 1993 FA Cup and League Cup.

After a season as player-manager at Barnsley in 1993-94, he became assistant manager at Middlesbrough where he spent seven years alongside Bryan Robson.
