Emmanuel Adebayor 25 Manchester City F.C. 2009-10 Signed Football
Product details
Proof details 1
Adebayor scored against Arsenal on 12 September 2009 and ran the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of their fans, in a 4-2 win for Manchester City. This shirt is from that 2009-10 season, signed by Adebayor and authenticated by AGON SportsWorld, independently documented through the auction house's own record.
The era
This is the fabric of that exact 2009-10 season, hand-signed and independently certified, the genuine article rather than an impression of it. Adebayor made 31 appearances that year, 14 goals in total, 14 of them in 26 Premier League games, a campaign that also carried a three-match ban for violent conduct against Arsenal and a four-match ban after an incident against Stoke City. Holding it is holding that whole season.
The shirt
This is the long-sleeved version Adebayor wore that season, size 44, an Umbro shirt from before the brand's kit deal with the club ended. Adebayor's signature sits on the back, below the number, and the shirt carries Etihad Airways as sponsor, from City's first season under that name. It grades excellent, with the worn character of a shirt that saw the pitch rather than a rail.
Authentication by AGON SportsWorld
Authenticated by AGON SportsWorld. Documented with a certificate of authenticity.
For the collector
Owning this shirt is owning a fixed point in Adebayor's first season at Manchester City, 2009-10, a genuine signature on a shirt worn that campaign rather than one merely printed to resemble it. It ties a collector directly to that specific chapter of his career, verified through AGON's own auction record rather than assumed from the shirt alone. That is the standing a confirmed, checkable piece carries.

Why Walkouts
We hand you proof you can check without us.

Why is an Adebayor Manchester City shirt from 2009-10 significant?
The 2009-10 season was Adebayor's first at Manchester City following his 25 million pound move from Arsenal, one of the most high-profile transfers of that summer. He scored 14 Premier League goals in 26 games, including the celebrated strike against Arsenal on 12 September 2009. The season marked the beginning of Manchester City's transformation under new ownership, with Roberto Mancini replacing Mark Hughes in December 2009. Match-worn shirts from this transitional period in City's history, worn by one of the season's most prominent figures, document a specific chapter in the club's rise.
