Official Kappa Athletic Bilbao centenary football shirt from the 1998 season. Complete with Alkiza #18 printed on the back of the shirt in official lettering.

This special edition, commemorative jersey was only used during two friendlies, against Roma and Real Betis.

In 1995, Athletic signed Joseba Etxeberria from regional rivals Real Sociedad, causing considerable bad feeling between the two clubs. Although Lizarazu left after one season, Ismael Urzaiz, José Mari García Lafuente, and Joseba Etxeberria were prominent members of the 1997–98 squad, along with Rafael Alkorta, Julen Guerrero, and Patxi Ferreira.

After Jupp Heynckes second cycle (2001–2003) and Ernesto Valverde (2003–2005), the club was embroiled in a relegation battle during the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons.
