A Collection Of A Lifetime.
This extraordinary collection originates from Tony Heywood, a much-loved Manchester United cleaner who served the club with dedication for over 40 years. Working daily inside the dressing room, Tony became a trusted and familiar figure to generations of players and staff.
Over four decades he quietly accumulated hundreds of match-worn, match-prepared and player-issued shirts — each one personally retained during his time at Old Trafford.
His archive spans the club’s greatest eras, including pieces from icons such as David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Eric Cantona, alongside rarities like Champions League Final-issued shirts, 1994 Coca-Cola Cup Final kits, and many more unique items preserved directly from the heart of the club.
Backed by a signed letter from Tony and video documentation of him sharing the collection, this is one of the most authentic and important privately held Manchester United wardrobes ever released to the public.

Charity Auction in aid of Mind
We are proud to support Mind charity by auctioning a remarkable item from Tony’s archive: a pair of Roy Keane’s player-worn boots. 100% of the proceeds from this auction will be donated to Mind, continuing the spirit of generosity and care that defined Tony’s decades of service. This special charity auction stands at the centre of The Archive Collection; a chance for supporters to own a piece of United history while making a meaningful difference.
