South African winger Albert Johanneson made 200 appearances
for Leeds between 1961 and 1969, netting 67 goals as a part of the Don Revie
side which won promotion to the First Division in 1964 and would become the
first black African to play in an FA Cup final a year later.
Now a shirt worn by Johanneson featuring 23 signatures of
squad members including the trailblazer himself is set to go under the hammer
next week with a guide price of £6,500 to £7,500.
The white crew-neck, long-sleeved shirt has stains and holes
and features signatures of Leeds squad members including Barrie Wright, Jack
Charlton, Willie Bell, Paul Reaney, John Giles, Paul Madeley, Terry Cooper,
Billy Bremner and Norman Hunter.
