Description
Match worn or issued England home shirt by an international that wore the number 15 in the international period 1997-1999. The first England national football men’s team did not play without a number on the front (see all matches that were played in this home kit below).

This shirt has all the characteristics of a match shirt:
- Correct player size number on the back in felt material
- Correct first team player size XL with size code 2
- The fully embroidered England national football team logo on the chest, which on the replica fanshop shirts was not embroidered but a stitched patch (not commercially available)
