2002-04 Japan Adidas Home Shirt TODA #21 - 9/10 - (M)

Official Adidas Japan home shirt from the 2002-04 era, printed with the name and number of Kazuyuki Toda, the combative and energetic midfielder who was one of the unsung heroes of Japan's historic 2002 World Cup campaign on home soil, playing his part in the Samurai Blue's run to the round of sixteen in their first ever World Cup appearance as co-hosts before earning a move to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. This shirt covers the most significant and celebrated period in Japanese football history, the tournament that introduced the Samurai Blue to the world and ignited a passion for the sport across the nation that has never dimmed, with Toda wearing the number 21 shirt as part of a squad whose achievement in reaching the knockout stages on home soil remains the pinnacle of Japanese football to this day. A named and numbered Toda Japan shirt from this historic era is a wonderfully unusual and collectible piece of Asian football memorabilia bearing the name of a player whose role in Japan's greatest ever World Cup campaign deserves far greater recognition. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
