2004-05 Sporting Lisbon Reebok Home Shirt J. MOUTINHO - 8/10 - (XL)

Official Reebok Sporting Lisbon home shirt from the 2004-05 season, printed with the name of João Moutinho, then a teenage midfielder of extraordinary promise whose technical quality, passing range and football intelligence had already marked him out as one of the most exciting young talents in Portuguese football during his early years at the Estádio José Alvalade before his move to Porto launched him onto the European stage as one of the finest and most complete central midfielders of his generation. This shirt covers the formative years of one of Portuguese football's most accomplished and decorated modern careers, a young Moutinho developing his craft at one of the country's most historically significant and passionately supported clubs whose famous academy has produced some of the finest talents in the history of the Portuguese game including Cristiano Ronaldo himself who had departed for Manchester United the previous summer. A named early career Moutinho Sporting Lisbon home shirt in the larger size is a deeply unusual and collectible piece of Portuguese football memorabilia bearing the name of a player who would go on to become one of the most respected and celebrated midfielders in European football across a career that took him to Porto, Monaco and Wolverhampton Wanderers. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
