LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, April 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Soccer fans and collectors are set for a rare opportunity as Propstore, one of the world’s leading entertainment memorabilia auction houses, presents an exceptional collection of memorabilia from Liverpool and Scotland soccer legend, Steve Nicol. Featuring over 50 items spanning his distinguished career, the auction will run from April 21 - May 14, 2026, offering a unique chance to acquire medals, match-worn shirts, and awards with direct ties to some of soccer’s most celebrated moments.— Alastair McCrea, Propstore Specialist
Steve Nicol enjoyed a distinguished career as a defender and versatile utility player, becoming one of Liverpool FC’s most reliable performers during the 1980s and early 1990s. Signed from Ayr United in 1981, he made 468 appearances for the club, scoring 46 goals and playing across multiple positions, including full-back and midfield. His intelligence, strong tackling, and adaptability made him a key figure during one of the most successful periods in Liverpool’s history.
During his time at Anfield, Nicol won four First Division titles, three FA Cups, a League Cup, and the European Cup in 1984. In 1989, he was named Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year. He also earned 27 caps for Scotland and represented his country at the 1986 FIFA World Cup.
Following his playing career, Nicol went on to build a successful second chapter in the United States, most notably as head coach of the New England Revolution in Major League Soccer (MLS). Across a decade-long tenure, he became one of the most respected coaches in the league, leading the club to multiple MLS Cup appearances and earning MLS Coach of the Year honours. He remains a prominent voice in the U.S. soccer landscape today as a longtime analyst with ESPN.
AUCTION HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
Leading the collection is Steve Nicol’s FA Cup Winners’ Medal from the 1985–86 season (est. $13,200 - $26,400), awarded following Liverpool’s 3–1 victory over Everton at Wembley. Nicol played the full match as two goals from Ian Rush and one from Craig Johnston secured the club’s third FA Cup title, marking the first of Nicol’s career.
Also offered is Steve Nicol’s European Cup Winners’ Medal from the 1983–84 season (est. $10,560 - $21,120), awarded after Liverpool’s dramatic victory over AS Roma in the final at the Stadio Olimpico. Following a 1–1 draw, the match was decided by penalties, with Liverpool securing their fourth European Cup in one of the most memorable finals in the club’s history.
Another key highlight is Steve Nicol’s match-worn shirt from the 1989 FA Cup Final (est. $3,960 - $7,920), in which Liverpool defeated Everton 3–2 at Wembley. Nicol played the full match in a game widely regarded as one of the most significant of his career, with goals from John Aldridge and Ian Rush securing Liverpool’s fourth FA Cup title.
The collection also includes Steve Nicol’s Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year Award from 1989 (est. $2,640 - $5,280), one of the highest individual honours in English soccer. Voted for by hundreds of journalists, the award recognises Nicol’s exceptional performances during the 1988–89 season and places him alongside some of the game’s most celebrated names.
