2002-04 Poland Puma Home Shirt OLISADEBE #11 - 7/10 - (M)

Official Puma Poland home shirt from the 2002-04 era, printed with the name and number of Emmanuel Olisadebe, the Nigerian-born naturalised Polish striker whose goals during the 2002 World Cup qualifying campaign were nothing short of miraculous, scoring crucial strikes that dragged Poland to their first World Cup in sixteen years and making him one of the most unlikely and celebrated heroes in the history of Polish football. This shirt covers the aftermath of that historic 2002 World Cup in Japan and Korea where Olisadebe represented Poland on the world stage, a fascinating and uniquely compelling story of a player who arrived in Poland as a foreign import and became a national hero through sheer goalscoring brilliance and the kind of dramatic match winning performances that write themselves permanently into the folklore of a footballing nation. A named and numbered Olisadebe Poland shirt is a wonderfully unusual and historically fascinating piece of football memorabilia bearing the name of one of the most improbable and beloved figures in Polish football history, a player whose story transcends the sport and remains one of the most compelling human narratives the game has produced in the modern era. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
