📦Shipped within 24 hours
There was something truly special about watching Hatem Ben Arfa receive the ball at St James' Park. A single touch, a sudden burst of pace, and an entire defence could be left in his wake. The Newcastle home shirt 2013/14 with Ben Arfa 10 takes you back to a time when the French technician was one of the Premier League's most unpredictable and entertaining players. A classic black-and-white retro shirt from an era of spectacular solo goals, dribbling, and pure football magic.
The shirt was made by Puma and features Newcastle's iconic black-and-white stripes. The club's traditional crest and the distinctive Wonga sponsor logo, introduced to Newcastle shirts in the 2013/14 season, adorn the chest. The design is characteristic of the Premier League in the early 2010s, while the back features Ben Arfa 10 – a player print that evokes memories of one of the club's most technically gifted figures in recent times.
Hatem Ben Arfa was the definition of a cult player. The French attacking player joined Newcastle from Marseille in 2010 and quickly became known for his extraordinary ball control, lightning-fast changes of direction, and ability to create something out of nothing. His legendary solo goal against Bolton in 2012, in which he dribbled from his own half and all the way through the opposition's defence, still stands as one of the most spectacular goals in Newcastle's Premier League history.
2013/14 was a season of great highs and lows for Newcastle United. Under Alan Pardew, the club had a strong first half of the season and remained in contention for a European spot. Newcastle beat Chelsea 2-0 at St James' Park and won 1-0 away to Manchester United at Old Trafford, among other results. However, form dipped significantly after the New Year, and the team finished tenth in the Premier League.
Newcastle's squad featured several notable figures from the period, including Yohan Cabaye, Moussa Sissoko, Loïc Rémy, Papiss Cissé, Cheick Tioté and Tim Krul. Ben Arfa was one of the team's most creative players and could decide matches with a single moment of brilliance on his best days. However, the season was also marked by the Frenchman's inconsistent playing time, after which he left Newcastle on loan to Hull City in 2014.
For Newcastle fans, the 2013/14 home shirt with Ben Arfa 10 represents a time of both frustration and unforgettable football entertainment. The classic Puma shirt with black-and-white stripes is a nostalgic reminder of Ben Arfa's dribbling, the intense atmosphere at St James' Park, and the Premier League in the 2010s.
