Classic Shirts, Classic Stories: 1860 x COPA Drop

TSV 1860 München 1965 - 66 Retro Shirt The 1980 – 81 season was one of highs and lows for TSV 1860 München. In walked Rudi Völler, a young talent joining from Kickers Offenbach, who quickly looked at home at 1860. Völler hit double figures in the iconic Doppeldusch-sponsored shirt in his debut season, a glimpse of what was to follow from the German striker, helping Die Löwen to a near invincible form away from home going unbeaten for all but two away games. In the end and after putting up a fierce fight, Die Sechzger had to cede their spot in the Bundesliga after a narrow relegation by just one point.

The 1965-66 season represented the pinnacle of TSV 1860 München's long and illustrious history as die Löwen became German champions for the first and only time. Max Merkel's fine side rounded off a magnificent three-year period which had brought DFP Pokal success, a European Final and now the Bundesliga title itself. A 2-0 away win at closest rivals Borussia Dortmund on the penultimate round of fixtures was the defining result and a fitting reward for this exciting team. Rudi Brunnenmeier and Peter Grosser provided the goals, but this was a genuine team effort.
