Historic Nottingham Forest memorabilia goes on sale for eye-watering price

Some Nottingham Forest fans might say it is a priceless piece of club history, but everything does indeed have a price.

43 years after the Reds lifted the European Cup for the first time, Larry Lloyd's jersey from the game has been put up for sale. And it will set you back a pretty penny.

The match worn top (pictured above) has been listed on eBay for the princely sum of £29,999.99 by historicfootballshirtsltd. For many Forest fans that would represent an entire year's salary.

Lloyd started at centre-back in both finals as Forest won back-to-back European Cups, defeating Swedish side Malmo in 1979 before beating Hamburger SV in the 1980 decider.

The Bristol-born defender also won the Uefa Cup earlier in his career during a successful stint for Bill Shankly's Liverpool. He joined Coventry City in 1974 after Bob Paisley took over as manager.

The ex-England international, who is now 74 years of age, crossed the Midlands two years later to join Forest for £60,000 and help them win promotion to the First Division. He played a key role in the club's most successful period, winning the league title, two League Cups, consecutive European Cups, the European Super Cup, Charity Shield and Anglo-Scottish Cup during his time at the City Ground.
