DDR 1974 Retro Football Shirt

The Olympic gold medal won in Montreal in 1976 aside, the shock 1-0 victory that the East German national team recorded over their neighbours, bitter rivals and tournament hosts West Germany at the 1974  World Cup was the greatest achievement in the state's 38 year footballing  history.

Jurgen Sparwasser's goal secured the win which would eventuelly prove to be double-edged sword as it put them through into tougher of a second round groups. Elimination duly follewed but still nothing could diminish what had been achieved in their one and only appearance at a tournament finals. This was the pinnacle of East German football history at a time when many of the state's greatest players were at the height of their game and the club game was making a real impact in European club competition.
