This unique and beautiful Leeds United shirt from Rio Ferdinand has been worn and signed by the English International. The shirt contains the necessary competition elements through spots of earth and grass on the front and back. Given the patchless arms, this shirt is expected to have been worn in a practice match where the shirt was transferred after a series of matches of which Sparta Rotterdam was the last on August 10, 2001. Very unique because Leeds played the Champions League and a leading role in the Premier League in the 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 seasons. This shirt comes from a trusted channel and will be issued with a certificate of authenticity from WeLoveFootballShirts.
Rio Gavin Ferdinand(born 7 November 1978) is an English former professional footballer who played as a centre-back, and is now a television pundit for TNT Sports. He played 81 times for the England national team between 1997 and 2011, and was a member of three FIFA World Cup squads. He is one of the most decorated English footballers of all time, regarded by many as one of England's greatest ever defenders.
Ferdinand began his football career playing for various youth teams, finally settling at West Ham United where he progressed through the youth ranks and made his professional Premier League debut in 1996. He became a fan favourite, winning the Hammer of the Year award the following season. He earned his first senior international cap in a match against Cameroon in 1997, setting a record as the youngest defender to play for England at the time. His achievements and footballing potential attracted Leeds United and he transferred to the club for a record-breaking fee of £18 million. He spent two seasons at the club, becoming the team captain in 2001, before he joined Manchester United in July 2002 for around £30 million, breaking the transfer fee record once more.
