Gaizka Mendieta | Spain

This match-worn Gaizka Mendieta football shirt is a premier piece of memorabilia from an iconic international clash. On February 28th, 2001, Spain traveled to Villa Park to face England in a high-profile friendly that marked Sven-Göran Eriksson’s first match in charge of the Three Lions.

While they were opponents on this night, Mendieta and Ehiogu later became celebrated teammates at Middlesbrough. Mendieta’s technical brilliance and Ehiogu’s defensive power were both instrumental during Boro’s historic 2004 League Cup triumph. Fully authenticated by Fabricks, this shirt captures Mendieta at his world-class peak before his move to England.
