2002-03 River Plate Adidas Away Shirt SALAS #11 - 8/10 - (L)

Official Adidas River Plate away shirt from the 2002-03 season, printed with the name and number of Marcelo Salas, the most celebrated and prolific Chilean striker of his generation whose explosive finishing, intelligent movement and fierce competitive drive had made him one of the most feared and admired centre forwards in South American football during his peak years at River Plate and Lazio, a player whose goals for both club and country had elevated him to the status of genuine national icon in Chile where he remains the most celebrated footballer the country has produced in the modern era and one of the most beloved figures in the entire history of South American football. This shirt covers a significant period in Salas's career as he returned to River Plate, the club where his extraordinary journey to European stardom had begun, wearing the number 11 shirt for one of the most historically significant and passionately supported clubs in Argentine football whose legendary Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires provides the most atmospheric and intimidating backdrop in South American club football for a fanbase whose devotion to Los Millonarios runs as deep and as fiercely as any in the sport. A named and numbered Salas River Plate away shirt is a wonderfully collectible and deeply romantic piece of South American football memorabilia bearing the name of Chile's greatest modern footballer during a later chapter of his distinguished career at the club that first launched him onto the world stage. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
