2001-03 Ireland Umbro Home Shirt KEANE #6 - 9/10 - (XL)

Official Umbro Republic of Ireland home shirt from the 2001-03 era, printed with the name and number of Roy Keane, the most driven and uncompromisingly competitive midfielder of his generation whose fierce determination, leadership and refusal to accept anything less than absolute professionalism and preparation made him the greatest player Ireland has ever produced and one of the most formidable and respected figures in the entire history of the sport. This shirt covers the most dramatic and divisive chapter in Irish football history, the 2002 World Cup in Japan and Korea where Keane's explosive departure from the squad in Saipan following his confrontation with manager Mick McCarthy became the most talked about story of the entire tournament, splitting a nation down the middle in a debate that has never truly been resolved and that remains the defining moment of Irish football's most celebrated era. A named and numbered Roy Keane Ireland shirt in this condition and this size is an exceptionally rare and deeply significant piece of Irish football memorabilia bearing the name of the most iconic and controversial figure the nation's football has ever produced. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
