2005-06 Bayern Munich Adidas Home Shirt DEISLER #26 - 7/10 - (S)

Official Adidas Bayern Munich home shirt from the 2005-06 season, printed with the name and number of Sebastian Deisler, the most gifted and tragically ill-fated German midfielder of his generation whose extraordinary technical quality, vision and creative brilliance had marked him out from his earliest years as one of the most exciting and potentially exceptional talents German football had produced in decades before a devastating series of knee injuries and a courageous and deeply public battle with depression robbed the sport of what many believed could have been one of the finest players of his era. This shirt covers the final season of Deisler's playing career at Bayern Munich before his heartbreaking retirement at just 27 years of age, a decision that resonated far beyond the boundaries of football and sparked an enormously important and overdue conversation about mental health in professional sport that has left a legacy of awareness and understanding that extends far beyond anything his goals or performances could ever have delivered. A named and numbered Deisler Bayern Munich home shirt is among the most poignant and emotionally significant pieces of German football memorabilia a collector could acquire, bearing the name of a player whose story transcends sport and whose courage in speaking openly about his struggles made him one of the most important and respected figures in the history of the game. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
