Ultra-rare Adidas Profi match-worn and dual hand-signed by Manchester United and Wales legend, Mark Hughes.
Worn extensively during the 1984/85 English First Division season while representing Manchester United.
Used across multiple competitive fixtures throughout the campaign, including the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium on 18th May 1985 against Everton.
Manchester United secured a historic 0-1 victory in front of a crowd exceeding 100,000 spectators.
Displays exceptional period-correct wear, with original leather breakdown, pitch abrasion, and authentic 1980s match use characteristics throughout.
Fully authenticated and accompanied by the BC Boots UK Certification Package, including entry into the online verification portal.

- Player Modifications & Personalisation:

Hughes carved his original squad number ‘16’ directly into the leather upper on the medial side of each boot — a deeply personal and historically significant detail.
This practice was common among Manchester United players of the era, later echoed by members of the famous Class of ’92 with their early squad numbers.
Each tongue has been beautifully hand signed by Mark Hughes, featuring clear, unhurried autographs.
Photographic evidence of Hughes signing this exact pair has been obtained, with a non-watermarked copy supplied to the purchaser.

- Historical & Collector Significance:

A museum-grade piece from one of the most iconic periods in Manchester United history.
Represents Hughes at the peak of his early United career, culminating in FA Cup Final success at Wembley.
Combines match-worn provenance, direct player personalisation, and verified dual autographs — an exceptionally rare trifecta.
An investment-level artefact from the golden era of English football, offering unmatched historical depth and authenticity.
Fully authenticated and accompanied by the BC Boots UK Certification Package, including entry into the online verification portal.
