The Liverpool 1977 European Cup Final Retro Football Shirt celebrates one of the defining nights in the club’s history. Bob Paisley’s side travelled to Rome as English First Division champions and defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 3–1 at the Stadio Olimpico on 25 May 1977 to lift the European Cup for the first time. Terry McDermott opened the scoring before Tommy Smith restored Liverpool’s lead with a memorable second-half header, with Phil Neal’s late penalty sealing a historic European triumph.
Kevin Keegan was one of the defining figures of Liverpool’s 1976–77 campaign, finishing as the club’s leading scorer with 20 goals in all competitions. The Rome final was also his final competitive appearance for Liverpool before his move to Hamburg. Captain Emlyn Hughes lifted the trophy, while McDermott, Smith and Neal all played decisive roles in a victory that established Liverpool as European champions for the first time.
The shirt is instantly recognisable for its beautifully simple 1970s design, combining a vivid Liverpool red body with a contrasting white V-neck and matching white sleeve cuffs. The special European Cup Rome 1977 commemorative detailing on the chest distinguishes this version from the regular home shirt and directly connects the design to Liverpool’s first European Cup triumph. Free from a commercial chest sponsor and elaborate graphics, its clean red-and-white appearance remains unmistakably associated with the club’s historic night in Rome.

IN BETWEEN SIZES?
That's easier said than done. Because what do you do if you are in between two sizes?
Well, that's up to you. Do you like a tight fit? Go for the smaller size. Loving a loose fit? Go for the larger size.
TOP FIT
If your body measurements for chest and waist result in two different suggested sizes, order the size from your chest measurement.
Rec. Player Printing Options
Liverpool were still using traditional match-day 1–11 numbering during this period rather than permanent squad numbers. Player names were not worn on the back, so the historically appropriate option is number only. Numbers represent the players most strongly associated with those positions during this period rather than permanent modern squad numbers.
Best Printing Choice: 7 (Kenny Dalglish)
Other Strong Options: 8 (Graeme Souness) / 10 (Terry McDermott) / 4 (Phil Thompson) / 6 (Alan Hansen) / 9 (Ian Rush)
Printing
Recommendation
7 (Kenny Dalglish)
We recommend No.7 as the definitive choice for this shirt. Dalglish was one of Liverpool’s most important attacking players throughout the entire 1979–82 period and the No.7 shirt is inseparable from his Liverpool legacy.
8 (Graeme Souness)
An outstanding choice from one of the dominant midfielders of the era. Souness was central to Liverpool’s domestic and European success and captained the club during the latter part of this shirt’s lifespan.
10 (Terry McDermott)
A particularly strong choice for the early years of the shirt. McDermott was one of Liverpool’s most influential midfielders and finished 1980–81 as the club’s leading scorer across all competitions.
4 (Phil Thompson)
An excellent heritage option. The Liverpool-born centre-back captained the side to the 1981 European Cup and was one of the defining defensive figures of Paisley’s team.
6 (Alan Hansen)
A classic defensive choice associated with one of Liverpool’s greatest-ever centre-backs. Hansen was already an increasingly important member of the side during this successful three-season period.
9 (Ian Rush)
The strongest choice specifically for 1981–82. Rush broke through spectacularly during the final season of this shirt, scoring 30 goals in all competitions as Liverpool won the league and League Cup.
We recommend No.7 for Kenny Dalglish as the leading printing option for the Liverpool 1979–82 home shirt. Dalglish was a central figure throughout all three seasons represented by this design, combining elite performances with a lasting association with Liverpool’s iconic No.7. During this period he helped the club win two league championships, the European Cup and two League Cups, making No.7 the strongest combination of historical relevance, player recognition and collector appeal.
No.8 for Graeme Souness is another outstanding option. Souness was at the heart of Liverpool’s midfield during this era and played a major role in the club’s domestic and European success. For customers who want a player equally representative of Bob Paisley’s powerful late-1970s and early-1980s Liverpool sides, No.8 is an especially strong alternative.
For a shirt intended specifically to represent 1981–82, No.9 for Ian Rush becomes particularly attractive. That season marked his major breakthrough, with 30 goals in all competitions as Liverpool completed a First Division and League Cup double.
