Official Umbro Republic of Ireland home football shirt from the 1998/99 international season.

This jersey also features the 'Only Football' motif near the lower hem. This motif was present on the jerseys manufactured specifically during the 1998/99 season, before being scraped on the later 1999/00 jerseys.

Condition of this original football jersey is 9/10 - Superb. Little wear on the collar button and motif near the lower hem (see photos).

Fantastic looking shirt, ideal for a collector or for framing.

Charlton was replaced by Mick McCarthy but Ireland still missed out on the next two major tournaments. Ireland just managed to finish second to Romania in their 1998 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign after Tony Cascarino scored a late goal to win the away match with Lithuania. 

A play-off with Belgium followed, with the match at Lansdowne Road finishing in a 1–1 draw, the match in Belgium finishing 2–1 to the home team and substitute David Connolly being sent off in the latter, preventing Ireland from progressing to the 1998 FIFA World Cup. FIFA awarded the FIFA Fair Play Award for 1997 to the Irish supporters "for their exemplary behaviour at Ireland team matches, especially the FIFA World Cup qualifying play-offs against Belgium".
