Gordon Hill was on the original Chicago Sting NASL roster on loan from Manchester United. This jersey/sweater is from his final go around with the club in the 1982-83 indoor season. He came back to the team and I was freelancing at the time trying to make a little extra money. I did an interview with him at the old soccer complex in Highland Park, IL during which time I mentioned I had never received a jersey from a player. He promised to give me one the next time we met. Unfortunately, the undercurrent of discontent with the team that ran through our conversation led to him leaving the team and being traded before we could meet up again. A month or so after all this happened a parcel arrived for me at my apartment in Oak Park, IL. It contained the sweater he promised and a note saying that he enjoyed the article. That's the back story on how I got this. I'm asking $150. It's one of the yellow jerseys (not the solid black) and I'll include the note he sent with it to document its authenticity. Ask for photos.
