Mario Kempes was a prolific Argentine goalscorer. He is most notable for playing for Valencia, finishing as La Liga's top goalscorer twice. He was the focal point of Argentina's 1978 World Cup win where he received the World Cup Golden Boot. Kempes won South American Footballer of the Year and World Cup Golden Ball in 1978. In 2004 he was named as one of the Top 125 greatest living footballers as part of FIFA's 100th anniversary celebration. During his club career he won 43 caps for Argentina and scored 20 goals. He represented his country in 3 World Cups in 1974, 1978 and 1982, winning the competition in 1978. He was the leading goalscorer in the 1978 tournament, scoring six goals. Presented here is one of Kempes’ Argentina match worn jerseys. The jersey is sans a manufacturer’s tag and has the Argentina “AFA” logo crest painted on the left chest. Across the back is the player number “10” in a black leather type material. Minor staining is present on the front however the jersey presents beautifully. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use.
