1997-99 Chelsea Umbro Home Shirt - 7/10 - (M)

Official Umbro Chelsea home shirt from the 1997-99 era, worn as Ruud Gullit's and then Gianluca Vialli's side established themselves as one of the most glamorous and internationally star-studded clubs in English football, winning the FA Cup in 1997 and the League Cup and UEFA Cup Winners Cup in 1998 in one of the most exciting and trophy-laden periods in the club's pre-Abramovich history, assembling a cosmopolitan and technically accomplished squad featuring Gianfranco Zola, Roberto Di Matteo, Marcel Desailly and Frank Leboeuf that brought a sophistication and European flair to Stamford Bridge that English football had rarely witnessed at that point in its development. A classic Umbro design in the iconic royal blue of Chelsea from one of the most celebrated and romantically appealing eras in the club's entire history, a period when the arrival of world class continental talent and the appointment of legendary European figures as managers transformed the identity and ambition of a club that had previously been associated more with underachievement and inconsistency than the silverware and glamour that this extraordinary collection of international talent suddenly made possible. A medium size Chelsea home shirt from this beloved and trophy-winning era in wearable condition is a characterful and nostalgic piece of Stamford Bridge memorabilia from one of the most exciting and culturally significant periods in the club's long and eventful history. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
