Chelsea Away Shirt 1999/00 - Desailly 6 (L)

A Chelsea classic from the pre-Abramovich era, featuring Marcel Desailly 6 on the back and a distinctive Umbro design from a star-studded Chelsea team around the turn of the millennium.

This Chelsea Away Shirt 1999/00 with Desailly 6 is an original Umbro shirt from the Frenchman's second season at Stamford Bridge. A classic model from a period when Chelsea had already assembled an international squad with some of European football's most high-profile names.

The distinctive away design is combined with period-appropriate Umbro details and the iconic Autoglass sponsor on the front. On the back, you'll find Desailly 6 – a name and number closely associated with Chelsea's defense around the turn of the millennium.

Marcel Desailly joined Chelsea in 1998 with an impressive CV. He had already won the Champions League with both Marseille and AC Milan and had just become a World Champion with France. At Stamford Bridge, his physicality, experience, and leadership qualities quickly became an important part of the team.

Chelsea's squad in 1999/00 featured a remarkable collection of stars, including Gianfranco Zola, Dennis Wise, Gustavo Poyet, Roberto Di Matteo, and Didier Deschamps. The season ended with triumph in the FA Cup, as Chelsea defeated Aston Villa at Wembley.

With Desailly 6, the Autoglass sponsor, and the classic Umbro look, the shirt captures a Chelsea period that stands in clear contrast to the club's later era. This makes it a strong collector's item for fans of The Blues and 90s Premier League.
