Chelsea Goalkeeper Shirt 1997/98 (YL)
Shipped within 24 hours
A colourful Chelsea classic from the 90s – the 1997/98 goalkeeper jersey is a rarer alternative to the club's traditional blue models and is offered here in the original children's size YL.
The Chelsea goalkeeper shirt 1997/98 dates from a memorable period at Stamford Bridge, where the club was full of great international stars and began collecting trophies both in England and Europe.
Umbro was behind the distinctive goalkeeper designs of the period, which, with their striking colours and classic 90s fit, stand out clearly from modern football shirts. The iconic Coors sponsor on the front also gives the shirt that perfect Chelsea look from the decade.
Between the posts, Ed de Goey was a key figure for The Blues. The Dutch goalkeeper joined Chelsea in 1997 and quickly became first-choice in a team with players like Gianfranco Zola, Gianluca Vialli, Dennis Wise, Roberto Di Matteo, and Marcel Desailly.
1997/98 was a great season for Chelsea. The club won both the League Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, which makes jerseys from this period particularly interesting for fans of the club's history before the modern Premier League era.
This edition is in size YL and is ideal for the younger Chelsea fan or the collector looking for original junior and goalkeeper jerseys. The combination of the children's size, the Umbro design, and the goalkeeper edition makes this model significantly different from the more common home jerseys.

If you wish to wash the shirt, we recommend washing it by hand.
