Football Memorabilia: Leicester City FC 1969 FA Cup Final tracksuit top and jersey of Paul Matthews, the cotton Umbro tracksuit top with embroidered club badge with a banner underneath 'Wembley 1969', the back sewn with 'Leicester City FC' in blue, with blue and white striped cuffs and collars, Small size; the long-sleeved cotton Umbro jersey also with embroidered club badge and banner, no squad number, elasticated cuffs and collar, size Medium. (Mannequin for display purposes - not included in the lot). Provenance:Paul Matthews, Leicester born and bred, made 61 appearances for Leicester City between 1964-1972, and was part of the 1969 FA Cup Final squad at Wembley. However, ultimately his role was as a spectator, as he made way for David (Dave) Gibson, who was unexpectedly match-fit following an injury. As a result, Matthews's shirt and tracksuit do not have a squad number.Leicester City lost the match 1 - 0, meaning they would have to wait until their fifth FA Cup final against Chelsea in 2021 to finally win the title. This disappointment was compounded by the fact that reaching the FA Cup Final in 1969 was the bright spot in a season that saw them relegated to Division Two.Paul Matthews’ career at Leicester City began when his father, who worked with the then club captain Colin Appleton’s brother, asked if Leicester would be willing to look at his promising son. Following a trial game in the Filbert Street car park, his career was launched. Matthews scored his first goal in April 1966 against Blackburn Rovers and he was part of the Foxes side that moved on from the disappointments of the 1969 season to win the Second Division title in 1970/71. He later went on to play for Mansfield Town helping them to secure two League Championship trophies during the 1974/75 and 1976/77 seasons. Footnote:Paul Matthews played at Leicester City from 1964-1972 making 74 appearances and scoring 5 goals before moving to Mansfield Town where he won division 4 in 1974-75 and division 3 in 1976-77.
