A new Wrexham Museum exhibition will demonstrate a shirt by shirt history of Welsh football, reflecting fan’s love for the jerseys.

Shirt Stories tells the history of Welsh football through selected shirts held in the Welsh Football Collection and loans from private individuals.

The selection highlights the story of both men’s and women’s football, at national and club level.

Timed to coincide with the build-up to the World Cup in Qatar, the exhibition includes:

  • A shirt worn by Alan Harrington in the 1958 World Cup qualifiers.
  • A shirt from Wales’s only previous appearance in a World Cup finals in 1958.
  • Wales shirts from the 2022 qualifying campaign.
  • A shirt worn in the first official Welsh women’s international played in 1993.
  • And retro shirts from the top Welsh teams: Wrexham, Cardiff City, Swansea City & Newport County.
