1928 - All Blacks Match Worn Jersey - Made by St. Margarets
This rare jersey was given to Vernon Vincent (EP 1957-1963 & Junior Springboks 1958) by the Editor of the Eastern Province Herald during Vernon's playing days. NZ Rugby Museum is of the opinion that the jersey must be from 1928 tour of South Africa. The jersey bears the number 12 which was worn by legendary All Black Mark Nicholls (Vice Captain - Wellington), although L.M. Johnstone (Wellington) also played in this position on tour. Jersey: lace up front, St. Margarets label, left armpit has a tear, number 2 has a tear. Superb All Black fern. Generally good condition for a 80 year old jersey.

Hi Ken, thanks for your information and requests. I am always on the lookout for older rugby memorabilia. Vernon (my uncle and owner of the jerseys on this blog) sold his 1962 EP V Lions programme about 2 years ago. I am linked to many local auction sites and i can forward any UK related rugby mem's through to you if you like. I will add more items to this blog as well. Thanks for your interest. All the best for your rugby year. Kind regards Bruce Vincent (brucevincent88@hotmail.com)
