Liverpool star David Fairclough's shirt sells for £10,000

A shirt worn by a footballer who scored the winning goal in one of Liverpool FC's most epic European Cup ties has sold for £10,000 at auction.

The number 12 shirt was worn by David Fairclough in his team's victory over French side St Etienne 40 years ago, on their way to a European Cup triumph.

Fairclough earned the nickname supersub for his knack of scoring when he came off the bench.

The shirt, which was kept in a bread box, was listed to reach up to £6,000.

Fairclough, 60, said he would give the money raised from the sale at London-based Graham Budd Auctions to his children.
