Steve Nichol played for Liverpool for 13 years from the 1980s to early 1990s, and won over 10 major honors with the Reds. The retired Scottish international is currently a commentator for ESPN FC, and announced yesterday that he would be auctioning a number of items from his career in London at Propstore auction house.
Nichol will be auctioning his 1985/1986 FA Cup medal, his 1984 European Cup winners’ medal, his 1989 Football Writers’ Association (FWA) Footballer of the Year award, and the match-worn
shirt from the 1989 FA Cup final against Everton — as well as honors and memorabilia from his international career and a signed MLS shirt.
Such a move is unusual, and Propstore’s Alastair McCrea noted, “It’s not often that material of this quality and provenance becomes available.”
Though it’s unclear why Nichol has chosen to make these items available — notably none of his League or European Cup winning medals are listed — the former Red expressed interest in keeping the items in the hands of “real fans.”
“It means a great deal to know they’ll continue to be appreciated for years to come,” Nichol said.
