Football legend Pat Jennings, one of the most celebrated goalkeepers in British football history, is parting with an extraordinary collection of career memorabilia that chronicles his remarkable journey from Northern Ireland to North London glory.
A Career in Memorabilia
The upcoming auction features over 80 lots that tell the story of Jennings' illustrious career, including his international caps, rare match-worn shirts, and medals from his time with both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. The collection offers fans a unique opportunity to own pieces of football history from a player who transcended one of football's fiercest rivalries.
Treasures from Tottenham and Arsenal
Among the standout items is Jennings' shirt from the 1967 FA Cup final, a significant piece from Tottenham's historic cup victory. Equally impressive is his jersey from Arsenal's 1970-71 League and FA Cup double-winning campaign, showcasing the unique position he holds in North London football folklore.
The collection also includes:
- His 1983-84 UEFA Cup final shirt from Tottenham's European triumph
- Multiple Northern Ireland international caps spanning his 22-year international career
- Medals and awards from his time with both North London clubs
- Personal items including boots and goalkeeper gloves
A Cross-Club Legend
What makes this collection particularly remarkable is how it bridges the Tottenham-Arsenal divide. Jennings remains one of the few players revered by both sets of supporters, having achieved legendary status at White Hart Lane before moving across North London to continue his exceptional career with Arsenal.
International Legacy
The auction also highlights Jennings' incredible international career with Northern Ireland, where he earned 119 caps between 1964 and 1986. His international memorabilia provides a comprehensive record of one of the longest-serving international careers in football history.
The collection goes under the hammer at Morgan Evans' Lambs Lane saleroom in Llannerch-y-medd, Anglesey, offering collectors and football enthusiasts alike the chance to own pieces from one of football's most enduring and respected careers.
