2002-04 Argentina Adidas Away Shirt BATISTUTA #9 - 8/10 - (M)

Official Adidas Argentina away shirt from the 2002-04 era, printed with the name and number of Gabriel Batistuta, the most ferocious and technically devastating centre forward in the history of Argentine football whose thunderous shooting, physical dominance and predatory instinct in the penalty area made him one of the most feared and celebrated strikers the sport has ever produced, a player whose goals for both Fiorentina and the Albiceleste are spoken about with the kind of reverence normally reserved for the very greatest players the game has ever seen. This shirt covers the twilight of Batistuta's extraordinary international career following the 2002 World Cup in Japan and Korea where Argentina suffered one of the most shocking exits in their tournament history, eliminated in the group stage despite possessing one of the most talented squads in the competition, a devastating conclusion to the international career of a man who had given everything for the light blue and white shirt across more than a decade of extraordinary service. A named and numbered Batistuta Argentina away shirt is among the most desirable and emotionally resonant pieces of South American football memorabilia a collector could own, bearing the name of the greatest Argentine goalscorer of the modern era in the away colours that are among the most striking and collectible in world football. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
