1966 Was a Great Year Badge
1966 Was a Great Year Badge is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
This Manchester United pin badge is a playful and iconic tribute to the legendary Eric Cantona, featuring one of the most famous fan slogans in football history.
The rectangular design is set against the backdrop of the St George's Cross, boldly displaying the text: "'66 was a great year for English football. Eric was born."
This witty phrase cheekily prioritises the birth of "The King" over England's World Cup victory, capturing the unique bond between the club's supporters and their enigmatic French star.
In terms of style, the badge uses a vibrant enamel finish with polished metal outlines that give it a clean and durable feel.
A stylised illustration of Cantona, complete with his signature upturned collar and stoic expression, is featured on the left, making it a must-have for any collector of 1990s-era memorabilia.
