Walkouts signed football shirts AS Nancy Lorraine Store

About

Association Sportive Nancy Lorraine, based in Nancy, France, currently competing in Ligue 2, was originally formed in 1910 and has a layered history that matters to collectors and fans alike, and you can find signed shirts on Walkouts. The club traces its roots to Union sportive Frontière and created a professional section after the collapse of FC Nancy in 1967, a continuity that makes shirts from different eras notably distinct.

The club’s identity is tied to Nancy, France and to the Grand Est region, with youth development widely respected thanks to a long record of producing first‑team players. Michel Platini famously began his senior career at the club in 1972, and shirts associated with his seasons remain a particular point of interest for vintage enthusiasts, especially those with provenance documentation.

AS Nancy Lorraine plays its home matches at the Stade Marcel Picot, located in Tomblaine, where the club’s head office and training centre infrastructure are also based. The stadium and local facilities anchor match provenance for signed and player‑issued shirts, and the club’s presence at the venue underwrites a clear locality for framed displays and match event verification.

The honours cabinet is compact but meaningful, with 7 domestic titles including the 1978 Coupe de France and the 2006 Coupe de la Ligue, plus five Ligue 2 championships, and the club also boasts a notable continental footprint with UEFA Cup Winners' Cup participation among its milestones. These achievements create clear reference points for season or final provenance when assessing a shirt’s historical significance.

Collector interest often centres on anniversary and milestone issues tied to cup runs and promotions. Post‑1970 anniversaries and trophy seasons provide obvious collector hooks, while shirts from Platini’s era, the 1978 cup run and the 2005-06 cup season are chased because they connect to a defined on‑field moment and to named opponents and venues, such as the Coupe de France final stages and continental fixtures.

Away shirts and specific colourways are a key part of the narrative for ASNL collectors; pieces worn or sold during European ties and domestic cup runs carry extra weight. Look for classic away patterns documented from decisive matches, notably the club’s traditional away palette of white with red trim, and seek items accompanied by exact photo proof or similar provenance to confirm match or appearance claims. Fanshop releases, early retail runs and player‑issue variants remain collectable, and Walkouts listings regularly highlight these differences, with Free worldwide shipping.

When evaluating AS Nancy Lorraine shirts, provenance tied to named seasons matters: a 1978 anniversary shirt linked to the Coupe de France success and a 2024-25 promotion season shirt tied to the club’s recent ascent from the Championnat National are both concrete reference points. Provenance that cites the stadium, the final venue, or a named opponent strengthens a piece’s story, and ordering through a trusted seller helps secure the documentation you want.

Honours

AS Nancy Lorraine’s achievements span a rich domestic record and notable European appearances. The club’s roll of honour features 7 titles, headlined by the Coupe de France triumph won by a single goal from Michel Platini in the final, and complemented by the Coupe de la Ligue success that followed decades later. Sustained league excellence is reflected in five Ligue 2 championships collected across 1975, 1990, 1998, 2005 and 2016, demonstrating the club’s ability to build competitive squads across eras. Continental forays include participation in the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1979 and UEFA Europa League campaigns in 2007 and 2008, milestones that showcased Nancy on the European stage. Recent momentum returned in 2024-25 when the team was crowned champions on 2 May 2025 to secure promotion from the Championnat National, restoring its place in Ligue 2 for 2025-26. From a 1910 origin to a professional era launched in 1967, these honours underline resilience and ambition anchored in the Grand Est.

Legends & Leadership

Michel Platini, Olivier Rouyer and Bernard Zénier shaped ASNL as legend players of the 1970s and 1980s, with the first establishing himself after debuting in that decade and striking the winner in the late 1970s cup final. Rouyer added flair on the flanks through the 1970s, while Zénier provided a dependable attacking edge as the club consolidated its identity into the 1980s.

Mustapha Hadji and Tony Vairelles are legend players of the 1990s, with Hadji elevating the side and, in the late 1990s, earning the African Ballon d’Or in 1998 during his time with Nancy. Vairelles emerged as a prominent forward in the 1990s, reflecting the strength of ASNL’s pathway from development to the first team.

Youssouf Hadji stands out as a recent key player of the 2010s, passing 300 matches in Nancy colours and providing leadership across several campaigns. Clément Lenglet followed in the 2010s as another recent key player, graduating from the club’s respected training centre in the mid-2010s before moving on to higher levels.

Jacques Rousselot is recognised for long-term stewardship from 1995 as chairman, guiding the club through eras that included national cup success, league titles and subsequent promotions, and leaving a lasting imprint on ASNL’s modern trajectory.
