Newcastle United Home Shirt 1997-1999 adidas Football Original NUFC Adult XL

  
Embroidered Newcastle United badge and gold adidas logo. Front felt Newcastle Brown Ale sponsor in very good solid condition. This original shirt has bags of character and will stand apart from any modern remake. Part of my personal collection. Check out my other listings for more NUFC shirts.

The 1997-99 home shirt has the classic simplicity of narrow black and white stripes with black edged white hoops on the cuffs and crew neck and centralised gold logo, crest and sponsorship. Alan Shearer was injured for half the season, but manager Kenny Dalgleish supplemented the strike force with John Barnes and Ian Rush, though his style of football was more cautious than his predecessor, Kevin Keegan, and he was replaced the following season by Ruud Gullit. The highlight of 1997-98 was the run in the Champions League, including beating Barcelona 3-2 with a Faustino Asprilla hat-trick, and Newcastle also reached the FA Cup Final only to lose 2-0 to Arsenal.
