Ghana 7

 

Unknown Player
vs. Brazil (1:2) | Youth World Cup | 1993 in Australia

I got this shirt for about 100€ and it was sold to me as a matchworn Ghana shirt. For ages, I was unsure about it, as all the pics I had of Ghana wearing this template did have a FA badge on it and a different number set than this one. See the following pic:

Indeed, I was quite sure that it is not a legit shirt. What kept me searching, however, was that I got this shirt from a very legitimate source that was indeed close to Charles Akonnor, the player who apparently wore this shirt. But then I stumbled over the 1993 FIFA Youth World Cup and that Akonnor was in the squad for that one. When browsing pictures of that tournament, I quickly figured out that Ghana wore the shirt I own exactly like that in that tournament. So, very likely, I got the shirt that Akonnor wore during this tournament - a truly historic piece, especially given that Ghana won silver in the tournament.
