Florian Albert was named European Footballer of the Year in 1967, a Hungarian forward nicknamed “The Emperor” and remembered as one of the most elegant players of his generation. None of the items on this page are his.
All eight listings are Philippe Albert, the Belgian international, and all eight are Newcastle United shirts carrying #27. Five are the 1993-95 away shirt, two are the 1994-95 third, and one is a 1997-99 shirt marked as an FA Cup Final version. The site matches stock on surname, and Albert is a surname two very different careers happen to share.
Albert’s football was played in the 1960s, decades before replica shirts with printed names were sold to supporters at all. There is no commercial shirt from his era to resell, so the second-hand market has nothing to offer, in this catalogue or anywhere else.
They are a coherent little group: mid-1990s Newcastle, grades from 5/10 to 9/10 with a median of 8, prices between roughly £180 and £300. The 1993-95 away shirt is the one that turns up most often. The FA Cup Final listing refers to a specially badged version made for the fixture rather than a standard league shirt.
