2005-06 Bayern Munich Adidas Home Shirt HARGREAVES #23 - 9/10 - (S)

Official Adidas Bayern Munich home shirt from the 2005-06 season, printed with the name and number of Owen Hargreaves, the most technically accomplished and tactically intelligent English midfielder of his generation whose career at the Allianz Arena had made him one of the most respected and admired defensive midfielders in European football, a player whose ability to read the game, win the ball and distribute it with composure and intelligence under the most intense pressure made him the perfect embodiment of the demanding and technically sophisticated football that Felix Magath's Bayern demanded from every player in their squad. This shirt covers a significant period in Hargreaves' Bayern career as the Canada-born English international continued to establish himself as one of the finest holding midfielders in the Bundesliga, his performances attracting the attention of the biggest clubs in European football and ultimately leading to his move to Manchester United where he would deliver one of the finest individual seasons any English midfielder has produced in the Champions League, his performance in the 2008 final in Moscow against Chelsea establishing him as a player of genuine world class quality at the very highest level of the game. A named and numbered Hargreaves Bayern Munich home shirt in the small size is a wonderfully unusual and deeply collectible piece of German and English football memorabilia bearing the name of one of the most technically accomplished and underappreciated English players of the modern era. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
