Official Umbro Manchester United home football shirt from the 1997/98 season. Complete with Giggs #11 on the back of the shirt in original flock Premier League lettering.

Although this design template was also used in the previous 1996/97 season, standardised Premier League lettering was first introduced in the 1997/98 season.

The condition of this original football shirt is 9/10 - Superb. One tiny faint dot mark on the lapel of the collar. A small faint dot mark beneath the #11 on the rear (see photos).

In the 1996/1997 season, Giggs had his first real chance to shine in Europe. Having played a key role in United winning their third league title in four seasons, he helped them reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, the first United side in 28 years to achieve this. However, their hopes of European glory were ended by Borussia Dortmund, who edged them out by winning each leg of the semi-final 1–0. At the end of this season, Juventus' Alessandro Del Piero told Italian media that Giggs was one of his two favourite players, and gave the following memorable quote:"This is embarrassing to say but I have cried twice in my life watching a football player; the first one was Roberto Baggio and the second was Ryan Giggs."
