Advice on removing stains from soccer jersey!

[Ken Szeto]

I've just received a very rare soccer jersey that I bought off eBay. It has
a few stains about size of a quarter on a few spots.

I've tried spraying "Shout" stain remover product on it and let it sit for
20 minutes before washing it but they're still there.

The shirt should be made of 100% polyester. I am not sure what kind of
stains they are. Anyone can give me some tips?

The bar soap Fels Naptha works great on most stains.

The key to stain removal is knowing what caused them. Instead of
risking damage to the material that various treatments *might* cause,
why not develop a few good stories about how the stains came about?
"The blood of player X when player Y broke his nose on X's
shoulder"..."turf of Z stadium encountered on a brave play"..."enraged
fan spit tomato/tobacco during a famous contest." :-)
