The Legacy
New Zealand reached the 1982 World Cup, their first appearance in the tournament. John Adshead managed a squad that had endured a grueling qualification campaign across Asia and Oceania. Players like Steve Sumner, Grant Turner, Ricki Herbert, and Brian Turner faced Brazil, Scotland, and the Soviet Union in Spain. Despite failing to pick up a point, the experience of competing at the highest level redefined expectations for the sport in the country. This Adidas home shirt remains a link to that pioneering group who first put the All Whites on the global map.
