Official Nike Leeds United long sleeve goalkeeper football shirt from the 2002/03 season.
The condition of this original football jersey is 9/10 -Ā Superb (see photos).
Under chairmanĀ Peter Ridsdale, Leeds had taken out large loans against the prospect of the share of the TV rights and sponsorship revenues fromĀ UEFA Champions LeagueĀ qualification and subsequent progress in the competition. However, Leeds narrowly failed to qualify for the Champions League in two successive seasons, and as a consequence did not receive enough income to repay the loans. The first indication that the club was in financial trouble was the sale ofĀ Rio FerdinandĀ toĀ Manchester UnitedĀ for approximately Ā£30Ā million.
Ridsdale and O'Leary publicly fell out over the sale, and O'Leary was sacked and replaced by formerĀ EnglandĀ managerĀ Terry Venables. Leeds performed badly under Venables, and other players were sold to repay the loans, including Jonathan Woodgate, who Ridsdale had promised Venables would not be sold.
Tensions mounted between Ridsdale and Venables and with the team underachieving, Venables was sacked and replaced byĀ Peter Reid. Ridsdale resigned from the Leeds board and was replaced by existing non-executive director Professor John McKenzie. At this time Leeds were in danger of relegation, but managed to avoid the drop in the penultimate game of the season.
