i think it first came out at 1960   c.w/final against fiorentina ,for some reason the 72 final they seem to use it in  training

Earliest squad photo I've seen is this one 1961-62 but definitely wore that shirt in Cup Winners Cup final in 1961

Didn't whiskersgate involve several players?  I seem to remember Willie Henderson and Ron McKinnon being involved along with John Grieg.

To start with he couldn't shave it off, but later kept it as a good luck charm for the cup winners cup run and said he wouldn't shave it off till they won it
