Tottenham Hotspur finished tenth in the Premier League during the 2002/03 campaign under Glenn Hoddle, recording 50 points in the manager's second full season in charge.
Having finished ninth the previous season, Spurs entered the campaign looking to establish greater consistency and challenge for qualification to European competition.
The squad featured established players including Teddy Sheringham, Darren Anderton, Gus Poyet, Ledley King, Christian Ziege and goalkeeper Kasey Keller. The summer of 2002 also saw the arrival of several players, including Jamie Redknapp from Liverpool and Milenko Aćimović from Lille.
One of Tottenham's most important additions came in August, when Republic of Ireland international Robbie Keane joined from Leeds United. Keane quickly established himself as a key attacking player, providing creativity and goals alongside Sheringham and the club's other forwards.
Spurs recorded 14 victories across their 38 Premier League fixtures, scoring 51 goals and finishing tenth in the table. The campaign included notable victories against Manchester City and Everton, although inconsistent results prevented the club from mounting a sustained challenge for the European places.
Keane finished as Tottenham's leading league scorer with 13 goals, demonstrating his importance during his debut season at White Hart Lane. Sheringham also remained an influential figure, contributing 13 goals across all competitions during what proved to be his final campaign with the club.
In the FA Cup, Tottenham reached the third round before being eliminated by Southampton. Their League Cup campaign ended in the third round against Burnley, with the Clarets securing a 2–1 victory at Turf Moor.
The season represented an important stage in Tottenham's squad development, particularly with the arrival of Keane, who would become one of the club's most prolific modern forwards.
Produced by Kappa, the 2002/03 Tottenham Hotspur away shirt featured a distinctive navy-blue colourway with contrasting black sleeves and collar detailing. White piping across the shoulders and sides complemented the white Kappa branding, Tottenham crest and Thomson Holidays sponsor.
Worn by players including Keane, Sheringham, Anderton and King, the design represents Hoddle's second full campaign in charge and Keane's first season at White Hart Lane. Its dark colour combination and fitted Kappa styling make it a recognisable example of Tottenham's early-2000s shirts.

Condition
Each item is individually inspected and graded by our team to ensure an accurate representation of its condition.
Every item at The Soccer Archive is individually assessed and graded on our condition scale out of 10. This rating takes into account the overall quality of the fabric, print, badges and any natural signs of wear that come with age.
Most pieces we sell are vintage or pre-owned, meaning small signs of age can be part of their character.
Our condition guide
10/10 - Brand New with Tags
Outstanding condition with no noticeable flaws. Tags may or may not be present, but the item shows little to no sign of wear.
9/10 - Mint
Very strong vintage condition. May show the lightest signs of storage or previous wear, but nothing that distracts from the item overall.
8/10 - Excellent
A well-kept piece with minor signs of age or use. This could include light bobbling, slight fading or very small marks, but it still presents really well.
7/10 - Very Good
Noticeable wear consistent with age. This may include moderate fading, small pulls, bobbling, minor cracking to print or a small mark.
6/10 and below - Good with Noticeable Signs of Wear
More obvious signs of wear or ageing. This might include heavier fading, marks, pulls, print wear or repairs.
Any notable flaws will always be highlighted in the product description and imagery.
