Can you tell me who was the first football club to gain a sponsorship deal?
Answers:
I'm pretty sure the first to have a shirt sponsor was Liverpool in the early 1980's, when Hitachi sponsored them. Have you noticed that Barcelona still dont have a shirt sponsor, although there is pressure for them to get one now!
the money grabbing fatherless team chelsea followed by man utd
without a doubt man utd had one of the first which lasted the longest but chelsea had a shirt deal with auto glass or some multi-million pound global concern.Before the advertising on the front,Adidas,nike,etc tied up clubs exclusively.
Man Utd were the first to have shirt sponsors in the UK with Sharp - not sure about the rest of the world though.
First to wear a shirt sponser in Scotland were Hibs.
And they are still skint...
good question,wish i could help.i would also like to know this.
man u
I believe Man U were the first in the UK. They were sponsored by Sharp between 1982 - 2000. Think it's the first but certainly one of the longest. I'm interested to know if it was the first
