Zico (Arthur Antunes Coimbra) was one of the best footballers in the world from the late 1970's to early '80's. Many soccer pundits view him as Brazil's greatest player since Pelé, and that includes Pelé himself who stated, "Throughout the years, the one player that came closest to me was Zico." The attacking midfielder known as the “White Pelé” was the second Brazilian after his (nick)namesake to wear the famous No. 10 jersey. Known for his creativity, playmaking and technical skills, he was also a clinical finisher and deadly free-kick specialist, tallying 157 goals in 288 games in Italy's Serie A (1971-89) and 48 goals in 71 caps for Brazil (1976-86). FIFA ranked Zico #8 on its 1999 Player of the 20th Century list.
Featured here is Zico's 1981-82 era Canarinho match worn and autographed shirt from international competition including friendlies and World Cup qualifiers leading up to the ’82 FIFA World Cup. The yellow short-sleeved yellow shirt with a green collar and green ribbed elastic sleeve ends has the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) crest and "BRASIL" on the left chest – its three green stars above indicating the number of World Cups Brazil had won at that point). The logo for manufacturer Topper appears on the right chest, with the brand's faded tagging and size 12 flag tag inside the collar. The reverse has the coveted "10" in green block outlined numbers. Each logo and number is done in applique. The shirt exhibits obvious wear with heavy pilling to the cotton/nylon fabric. Zico has signed the lower back in black marker.
