Hungary Nat. (500) Home 1976 Part 1

(500) Hungary Nat. 12th June 1976 (International Friendly Match). HOME KITS vs Austria. 

Match Worn by Ferenc Csongrádi (From the Private Collection of TheMighTees @themightees). This very rare mid 70s Adidas ULTRON classic red shirt has a "500" on the front, white round neck/sleeve bands and white/red/white/green/white (the distinctive colourway make the country`s flag) sleeve striping. Worn with white shorts and green socks.

The cloth material crest is machine stitched. Hungary played only once in this shirt! This shirt was a statement piece as the 500th jubilee of international games, but it was already the 507th. This was also the 120th international match between Hungary and Austria.

The kick off was made by retired footballer József Bozsik "Cucu", a key member of the Hungarian 1950s Golden Team/Mighty Magyars, who went on to win 101 international caps and score 11 goals in his career.
