Unknown Player
vs. Europe XI (2:1) | Meridian Cup | 1997 in Portugal

 

When I was offered a Europe XI shirt, I was also offered a matchworn Africa XI shirt. I snapped up both, for a combined 300€, to get the testiments of a truly unique game between Europe and Africa. A match that was never played again, to the best of my knowledge. Even better, it was worn by Taribo West, who was one of my favourite players at the 1998 World Cup, for his hairstyle alone. Thus, just a perfect shirt and testimony of a unique and fantastic event.
