1989-91 Soviet Union Home Soccer Jersey Adidas Shirt CCCP Vintage Authentic

This item is from Phil Tuckett’s personal collection.  It took several decades in his career to amass these rare collectibles at events. The highlight is that it includes autographs of the most prominent entertainers, historical figures, and sports players Tuckett met along the way.

Presented from Tuckett’s collection is a vintage 1989-91  rare authentic Soviet Union home soccer jersey. The red Adidas shirt features the CCCP logo across the chest as well as the Soviet insignia patch on the chest. The back sports no player numbers. It was made by Adidas and is a [size] 42-44.

Phil Tuckett suited up for a single game for the San Diego Chargers in 1968, and his time as a professional football player consisted of a year-and-a-half spent mostly on the Chargers practice squad. One might surmise that Tuckett’s contribution to professional football was minimal, and they would be correct, until taking into consideration that after retiring as a player Tuckett spent the next 38 years working for NFL films. Tuckett won 30 individual Emmy Awards in 30 years while with NFL films documenting the NFL. Of particular note, Tuckett worked directly with Ed Sabol, the man who started and was a huge part of  NFL Films.
