Bremner’s tracksuit top in online auction

The yellow, white and blue top bears the player’s name in capital letters across the back and Admiral on the front. The top, with elasticated collars and cuffs, is from the 1973-74 season.

The tracksuits were part of manager Don Revie’s attempts to promote the club outside Yorkshire.

Auctioneer Kylie Whitehead said: “The tracksuit top represents an exciting opportunity for Leeds United fans to own a piece of the team’s history.

“Billy Bremner is considered to have been one of the team’s finest players and we are very excited to be able to offer this unique piece of football history.

“Leeds United was one of the first teams to exploit the commercial possibilities in football.”

Midfielder Bremner, who stood just 5ft 5in, died in 1997. He is honoured by a statue outside the Elland Road stadium.

Online bidding on the top ends on May 24. One bidder has already met the minimum bid of £500.

The top comes with a letter stating how the top was originally acquired by a member of the Leeds branch of the Variety Club of Great Britain.
