Newcastle 1997/99 Home Shirt | The Shearer & Shearer Era

THE SHIRT WORN BY THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE PLAYER

In 1996, Alan Shearer became the most expensive footballer on the planet when he returned home to Tyneside. This is the shirt he wore as he led Newcastle United's charge — black and white stripes, St James' Park roaring, and a city united behind its favourite son.

Kenny Dalglish's Newcastle were a force. Shearer. Asprilla. Speed. Barnes. This shirt carries the weight of a fanbase that believed, and the bittersweet memory of so nearly breaking through — a faithful retro tribute to one of the Premier League's most iconic eras.
