Story of the shirt:

Probably the most classic Newcastle shirt ever, this legendary Adidas effort was worn by the club across two seasons, one of which – 95/96 – has remained infamous on Tyneside ever since. With Kevin Keegan as manager, the Magpies stormed to a 12 point lead by January, and looked odds on for the title with 15 games to go. However a collection of poor performances and dropped points allowed Man United to play an unprobable game of catch up, and somehow Newcastle were eventually pipped to the title by just 4 points on the final day of the season, robbing them of what would have been their first league win since 1927. In 95/96, star of this shirt 'Sir Les' Ferdinand netted an impressive 29 goals wearing the number 9, contributing hugely to the title challenge. In the summer of 1996, however, goal-machine Alan Shearer arrived for a world record fee of £15 million, and upon arrival asked Ferdinand if he would mind giving up the coveted number 9 shirt. Kindly Sir Les duly obliged, and therefore moved to the number 10 shirt for the 96/97 season, where he scored another 21 goals and forged a devastating partnership upfront with Shearer. Overall, Ferdinand scored 50 goals in 84 appearances on Tyneside, before being sold to Spurs in the summer of 1997. We salute you, Sir Les!

For that reason, we reserve the 10/10 condition rating only for new items, such as deadstock shirts that still have their original tags attached.
