1996-97 Borussia Monchengladbach Reebok Away Shirt EFFENBERG #10 - 7/10 - (L)

Official Reebok Borussia Mönchengladbach away shirt from the 1996-97 season, printed with the name and number of Stefan Effenberg, one of the most technically gifted, fiercely competitive and controversially charismatic midfielders German football has ever produced whose combative personality, ferocious passing range and ability to dominate matches with an iron will and supreme technical quality made him one of the most compelling and talked about players in the Bundesliga across a career that took him from Mönchengladbach to Fiorentina, Bayern Munich and beyond. This shirt covers a fascinating period in Effenberg's story as he returned to the club where his career had begun following his infamous expulsion from the 1994 World Cup squad for making an obscene gesture towards German supporters, a homecoming that represented both a second chance and a statement of intent from a player whose talent was never in question even when his temperament brought him into conflict with authority at the very highest level of the game. A named and numbered Effenberg Mönchengladbach away shirt from this era is a wonderfully characterful and historically fascinating piece of German football memorabilia bearing the name of one of the most magnetic and polarising personalities the Bundesliga has ever produced. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
