England home shirt 1999-2001 x Alan Shearer #9 in XS – with signature

England home shirt as worn in the international period 1999-2001, with Alan Shearer (number 9) on the back. His authentic signature is present on the number on the back. The shirt comes from a former collector with lots of player connections. The 1999–2001 period was a notable time for the England national football team under coach Kevin Keegan and later Sven-Göran Eriksson. England qualified for UEFA Euro 2000 but were eliminated in the group stage. After Keegan’s resignation in 2000, Eriksson took charge and guided England to qualification for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, highlighted by a famous 5–1 victory over the Germany national football team in Munich. Key players during this period included David Beckham, Michael Owen and Alan Shearer. Alan Shearer is regarded as one of the greatest strikers in English football history. He began his career at Southampton FC (1988–1992) before starring for Blackburn Rovers FC (1992–1996), helping the club win the 1994–95 Premier League title. In 1996, he joined his hometown club Newcastle United FC, where he played until his retirement in 2006 and became the club’s all-time leading scorer. Shearer remains the all-time top scorer in the Premier League with 260 goals. For England, he scored 30 goals in 63 appearances and captained the team at UEFA Euro 2000 before retiring from international football later that year. Of course this shirt is 100% authentic/original! The signature also has all the characteristics of it being original: it’s set in one time/flow, and corresponds to the ones found online (with COA).
