Official Canterbury Wasps home rugby shirt from the 1995/96 season. Complete with a cloth #20 stitched to the back of the shirt in original numbering.

This jersey was worn by a Wasps squad member (a substitue) in a match during the 1995/96 season (the specific game is unknown). The jersey was acquired by a former Wasps forwards coach that worked with the players during this period, and is himself now part of the 'Legends Club'. It was then given to the son of a close friend who kept it for over 20 years. A signed letter of confirmation from Classic15 Rugby Shirts will also be included with this item.

The condition of this original rugby jersey is 9/10 - Superb (see photos).

In 1995–96, with many pundits predicting Wasps could make a run for the title, Rob Andrew took up a lucrative deal to become Player Manager of Newcastle Falcons. He recruited several other leading Wasps, including, most notably, Club Captain Dean Ryan. For a few weeks Wasps looked like becoming the first casualty of the professional era as the backbone of their team had left. But under newly appointed captain Lawrence Dallaglio, the club steadied the ship, and managed to finish fourth, and secure a place in the following season's Heineken Cup, which English teams were entering for the first time.
