2007-08 Newcastle Adidas Away Shirt OWEN #10 - 8/10 - (M)

Official Adidas Newcastle United away shirt from the 2007-08 season, printed with the name and number of Michael Owen, the most naturally gifted instinctive goalscorer England has produced in the modern era whose return to the north east after spells at Real Madrid and Liverpool represented a homecoming of enormous emotional significance for a player who had begun his career at Newcastle as a schoolboy before departing for Liverpool as a teenager and going on to become one of the most celebrated English footballers of his generation. This shirt covers a bittersweet period in Owen's Newcastle career as injury continued to frustrate and limit his availability for a club and a fanbase that had invested enormous hope and expectation in his signing, his talent and reputation never in question but the physical fragility that had begun to define the later stages of his career preventing him from delivering the sustained brilliance that St James' Park had been promised when he arrived on Tyneside. A named and numbered Owen Newcastle away shirt from this era is a deeply nostalgic and collectible piece of Tyneside football memorabilia bearing the name of one of the most naturally gifted goalscorers England has ever produced during one of the more poignant chapters of an extraordinary career. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
