2008-09 Croatia Nike Home Shirt MODRIC #14 - 9/10 - (XL)

Official Nike Croatia home shirt from the 2008-09 season, printed with the name and number of Luka Modric, then a young and extraordinarily gifted midfielder at Tottenham Hotspur who was already being spoken about as one of the most technically accomplished and intelligent players of his generation, a player whose vision, touch and ability to dictate the tempo of a match from central midfield set him apart from almost everyone playing the game at that time. This shirt covers a fascinating period in Croatian football as Slaven Bilic's side competed in World Cup 2010 qualifying with a squad featuring some of the finest talent the nation has ever produced, with Modric wearing the number 14 shirt in the early stages of what would become one of the most decorated and celebrated individual careers in the history of the sport, culminating in a Ballon d'Or, a Champions League with Real Madrid and a World Cup final with Croatia in 2018. A named and numbered early career Modric Croatia shirt in this condition is an exceptional and deeply collectible piece of football memorabilia bearing the name of a player who went on to become one of the greatest midfielders the game has ever seen. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
