DESCRIPTION

Excellent condition. Adidas logo and club crest are embroidered. Sponsor and name/number are flock and heat applied. No bobbles or pulls. Stitching and colours in excellent condition.

Worn in 2008/09 as a couple of years of uncertainty eventually end up with relegation at the end of the season, ending their 16 year stay in the top flight. The season started with Kevin Keegan in charge but a falling out with the club's board led to Joe Kinnear taking over. 

He only lasted until early February and Chris Hughton's second spell in charge of the club saw the team fall deeper into a relegation battle. Club legend Alan Shearer was appointed as a temporary manager for the last 8 games of the season but he was only able to register 1 win before the club were relegated, ending a 16 year stay in the top flight.

“The Geordie Goal Machine”



Alan Shearer. A true Newcastle United legend. The striker joined his hometown club in 1996 for a then-world record transfer fee of £15 million and quickly established himself as a fan favourite. The Geordie’s lethal finishing, physicality, and aerial ability made him a nightmare for opposition defenders. Despite not having a trophy cabinet to rival his incredible goal-scoring record, Shearer's predatory instincts in front of goal were simply unmatched. With a mammoth Premier League record tally of 260 strikes to his name, he could have probably scored with his eyes closed.
