Prior to the rise of Pelé, Alfredo Di Stéfano sat on the throne as the world’s greatest footballer. The Argentina-born striker and attacking midfielder played for three national teams – his native Albiceleste, Colombia, and Spain – but it was during his storied club tenures with River Plate, FC Millonarios (Colombia) and Real Madrid CF (1953-64) that the “Blonde Arrow" (Saeta Rubia)” became legendary. He led Real Madrid to eight La Liga and five straight European Cup titles, receiving the coveted Ballon d’Or twice (1957 and ’59) and earning the Pichichi Trophy (La Liga’s top goal scorer) five times.

 

His managerial career stretched from the late 1960s to the early ‘90s including successful stops at his former clubs River Plate and Real Madrid, but it was on the pitch where Di Stéfano will forever be worshiped. Possessing a never-before-seen combination of dynamic dribbling and vision, quickness and stamina, power and finesse, he could score every type of goal imaginable and was best known for his clinical volleys and bicycle kicks into the back of the net. In a 2015 vote to determine the Football Player of the Century consulting former Ballon d'Or winners, Alfredo finished fourth behind Pelé, Maradona, and Johan Cruyff. Yet it was Pelé himself who called Di Stéfano “the best player ever" in 2009.

 

Presented here is an incredible piece of football history: one of Alfredo Di Stéfano’s Real Madrid match worn away jerseys dating to the early 1960's. The blue long-sleeved shirt is made of 100% cotton by Mont-Halt, a Spanish apparel brand owned by the former president of FC Barcelona that fitted several La Liga clubs at that time. The classic Madrid Football Club (MFC) crest is embroidered on the left chest. The reverse has the Argentine’s iconic number “9” in white upon which Di Stéfano has penned his lovely autograph and “Con mi mejor cariño "(with my best affection) inscribed in black pen. The basic shirt has a crew neck and standard sleeve ends. It is properly tagged inside the collar with a vintage Mont-Halt label (no size given). Match wear is evident in the form of fabric pilling and scattered soil staining on the body and sleeves. Condition remains flawless. A spectacular exemplar!
