Celtic saw European Cup victory and Liverpool’s first four European Cup successes all came in our kit.
Many famous clubs wear Umbro, including five times French Champions Olympique Lyonnais, Russian giants CSKA Moscow , Brazilian masters Santos, and now Forest Green Rovers F.C.!
An incredible 15 out of the 16 teams in the 1966 World Cup Finals wore Umbro. In 1966 Geoff Hurst wore the classic red England jersey whilst scoring his hat-trick, and legends Pele, Jairzinho, Rivalinho, Rivaldo and Ronaldo wore Umbro to help Brazil win the trophy four times.
