Czechoslovakia 1976 European Champions Retro Football Shirt

Czechoslovakia 1976 European Champions Retro Football Shirt. This is the shirt made famous by the floating leaf penalty with which Anton Panenka beat Sepp Maier at the end of the penalty shoot out in the 1976 European Championship final held in Belgrade. The Czechs had not been favoured to win through their qualifying group (containing England) but they won a tortuous way through to the final, surviving a last minute equaliser in Belgrade before Panenka’s famous spot kick turned German faces as red as the Czech shirts.
