Romelu Lukaku – page 2

Five groups, and the number tells you which

Forty-four Lukaku items are listed and they fall into five groups: fifteen Inter Milan from 2019-20 and 2020-21, fourteen Manchester United from 2017-18 and 2018-19, eight Roma from 2023-24, five Chelsea from 2021-22 and two Belgium shirts from 2024-25. He is 9 at United, Inter and Chelsea, 90 at Roma and 10 for Belgium, so the number on the back identifies a loose shirt before you have looked at the crest.

What the listings leave out

Nothing here comes from Anderlecht, where he started, from his 2011 move to Chelsea and the loans to West Bromwich Albion and Everton that followed it, or from the permanent Everton spell he signed in 2014 and his 25-goal Premier League season of 2016-17. The run begins with his first Manchester United season, 2017-18. It also stops before Napoli, where he was top scorer as the club won the 2024-25 Serie A title.

Retail, Authentic and Player Issue

Two entries are Player Issue, a 2017-18 Manchester United home shirt and a 2020-21 Inter home shirt, cut for a player rather than a supporter. Two more are marked Authentic: a 2019-20 Inter home and a 2021-22 Chelsea away. The other forty are standard retail shirts, and home shirts make up about half of them. Twelve entries are listed brand new with tags and ten as mint; the graded ones run from 5/10 to 10/10.
