The Liverpool 1978 European Cup Final Retro Football Shirt celebrates one of the defining nights of the club’s first great era of European dominance. Bob Paisley’s side arrived at Wembley as defending European champions and defeated Club Brugge 1–0 on 10 May 1978, becoming the first British club to retain the European Cup.
Kenny Dalglish produced the decisive moment, finishing a move created by Graeme Souness in the 64th minute to score the only goal of the final. The victory secured Liverpool’s second consecutive European Cup and capped an outstanding debut season for Dalglish, who finished as the club’s leading scorer. The Wembley side also featured captain Emlyn Hughes, Ray Clemence, Phil Neal, Alan Hansen, Phil Thompson, Ray Kennedy and Terry McDermott.
The shirt is instantly recognisable for its beautifully simple late-1970s design, combining Liverpool’s traditional all-red body with a contrasting white V-neck and clean white sleeve trim. With no commercial sponsor across the chest, the Liverbird crest and special European Cup Final detailing take centre stage. Its minimal appearance, distinctive final embroidery and direct connection to Liverpool’s 1978 Wembley triumph make it one of the most historically significant shirts of the club’s European era.

Important: Player names in brackets are for identification only. For an historically accurate 1978 European Cup Final reproduction, only the number should be printed on the shirt.
We recommend No. 7 (Kenny Dalglish) as the definitive printing choice for the Liverpool 1978 European Cup Final Retro Football Shirt. Dalglish enjoyed an outstanding debut season at Anfield after arriving to replace Kevin Keegan, finishing as Liverpool’s leading scorer before producing the defining moment of the European Cup Final at Wembley. His 64th-minute goal against Club Brugge was the only goal of the match and secured Liverpool’s second consecutive European Cup.
For another historically significant option, we recommend No. 11 (Graeme Souness). Souness supplied the decisive pass for Dalglish’s winning goal and would go on to become one of the central figures of Liverpool’s dominant era. For historical accuracy, this shirt should feature the number only, without a player name.
