Manchester City 98/99 Away

Manchester City 1998-99 Away Shirt – For Fans Who Survived The Third Tier and Have the Emotional Scars to Prove It 😭⚽

Slip into this luminous laser blue masterpiece and relive a season so dramatic it could’ve been written by Shakespeare – if Shakespeare loved Play-Off Finals and third-division football. Manchester City, a club too big to be in Division Two, but somehow still there, wore this kit during one of the most ridiculous seasons in their history. Managed by Joe Royle, a man whose tactics were basically “stop embarrassing yourselves and get promoted”, City somehow clawed their way out of the abyss. 🚀

Crafted by Kappa (with sleeves so tight you’ll feel like Shaun Goater trying to squeeze past a centre-back), this kit screams “We’re too big for this league… right?” The badge? A reminder that City’s history is built on pain, chaos, and occasional brilliance. 🫠

Meet the Legends:

• Shaun Goater 🐐: Future cult hero, Bermuda’s greatest export, and the man who actually started feeding the Goat.
• Paul Dickov 🔥: Tiny, furious, and responsible for THAT goal in the Play-Off Final.
• Gerard Wiekens 🇳🇱: Dutch defender, classy as anything, and confused how he ended up in the third tier.
• Nicky Weaver 🧤: Play-Off penalty hero, shot-stopper, and City’s most accidental legend.
• Andy Morrison 🏴☠️: Captain, enforcer, and the only man scarier than City’s financial situation at the time.

Honours? Promotion via the Play-Offs 🏆, thanks to the greatest 2-2 draw in history (followed by penalties and absolute limbs). A game so dramatic, it made grown men cry and Bolton fans jealous.

Wear this shirt to flex your “I remember City before the billions” credentials. Perfect for re-enacting Paul Dickov’s equaliser, Nicky Weaver’s penalty celebrations, or just looking at it and remembering the absolute state of that season.

P.S. Warning: Wearing this may cause spontaneous shouting of “DICKOVVVVV!” at random moments. Not advised near Gillingham fans. 🤬🔵
