With \u003cstrong\u003elong sleeves (L\/S)\u003c\/strong\u003e and the number 9 on the back, it has a classic football look from a time when long-sleeved national team shirts were still a common sight on the pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTankeren 9\u003c\/strong\u003e is a special print that cannot immediately be linked to a well-known player on the Irish national team. It is therefore likely a personal or custom-made back print rather than an official national team player. This gives the shirt its own unique character, but it is important not to mistake the print for an authentic player print from an international match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2006 was a transitional period for Irish national football.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ireland did not qualify for the World Cup in Germany, and after Brian Kerr's departure, Steve Staunton took over as national team manager. The team had profiles such as Robbie Keane, Damien Duff, Richard Dunne and Shay Given, while a new generation tried to lead Ireland back to the major finals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shirt is an interesting find for collectors who love \u003cstrong\u003eclassic Umbro national team shirts\u003c\/strong\u003e and special editions with personal back prints. The Tankeren print should be considered an unofficial name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen terraces, Irish football songs and a long-sleeved Umbro classic with a name you don't see every day.
