Product detailed description

Product description

We are releasing for sale a rare collector's piece from the era when Belgian football's famous "Golden Generation" was being born. This original match-worn shirt was worn by the legendary defender and Belgium's record cap holder, Jan Vertonghen. The shirt comes from the international friendly between Belgium and Slovakia, played on 6 February 2013 at the stadium in Bruges. Belgium won this star-studded match 2:1, and Jan Vertonghen played the full 90 minutes. What makes this piece special is the manufacturer, Burrda Sport, which supplied the Belgian national team for only a relatively short period before the switch to the major brands — making it a highly sought-after rarity today.
