Jimmy Greaves's match-worn red England No.8 jersey from the match v Czechoslovakia in Bratislava 29th May 1963, by Bukta, short-sleeved v-neck, embroidered three lions cloth badge with special Football Association inscription CENTENARY YEAR, 1863-1963 England won this friendly match 4-2. It was the only time England wore a red change jersey during the F.A. Centenary Year. The match was significant as being Bobby Moore's first as captain, deputising for the injured Jimmy Armfield and becoming England's youngest-ever skipper. Jimmy Greaves scored a brace. His first and England's first was a fine effort passing three Czech defenders and drawing the 'keeper and placing his finish. His Second was England's 4th, and again very skilful as he pulled down a Terry Paine cross from the by-line with his left foot before finishing with a devastating right foot shot.
