Boiling in pot with washing powder might help. Mother used to do it to socks. Disclaimer: To be fair they were the thick white ones early 90s, might not be advisable with the material?
I work with animals and frequently end up mucky and stinking of animal!
Use toothpaste and rub it where the mud is, this will help to lift the particles from the fabric.
You then need to soak the jersey in a basin of warm water, add some detergent (2 tablespoons if powder, 1 liquid tab if tabs) and 3 tablespoons of baking soda, swirl til the powder is dissolved and leave to soak for an hour then wash as normal.
I soak ALL my clothes in the bath for about two hours before I put on a wash, it lifts the dirt, hair and helps to lessen the smell.
For bath soaking, I fill the bath, double up the above solutions but I also add some bath salts for scent and for roughage to help scrub, then just stomp and scrub them for a bit and leave to soak before whacking into the machine. Wash on cool, hot water just bakes the mud in. Ditto for blood stains, always soak in COLD water first. I use rock salt to scrub bloodstains out then soak and wash on cool.
This looks like the making of a future Daz ad
I swear there used to be a washing powder ad exactly for this
Sprinkle baking soda on and brush vigorously with a damp toothbrush. Then follow up with washing up liquid and brush vigarously with the same toothbrush.
-Flake/scrape off as much dry mud as possible pre-wash.
-Rub your liquid or powder detergent (mixed with a little water) into the worst areas and allow it to sit for 15 minutes.
-Give the fabric a good rub to work the spot treatment in.
-Wash in a cool to medium wash (too hot might set the stain).
-Your washing machine might have a ‘sports wash’ setting too.
Vanish have a stain remover soap bar that works a treat; you can get it in most supermarkets.

I’m having flashbacks to biddy from Glenroe. Fuck it, Could be worse I suppose…
Use washing powder. Scoop of Ariel or Persil bio and it’ll come out perfect. The simple reason being that the powders contain ingredients that produce mild bleaching effects – basically peroxide. The liquids can’t and some of the pods can do it by keeping ingredients separated in the pod itself, so they only react when dissolved.
Give them to your mammy? They have scary voodoo powers when it comes to washing.
I’m playing a wee game of “guess the gender” with the replies here.

A coat of paint might do it
have you tried fire, usually does the trick
Stain remover and 50 degree wash may do it.
