📖 Pauleta, the striker who marked Bordeaux in the early 2000s

This grey-taupe third shirt, with its navy chevron so typical of the late Adidas years at Bordeaux, dates from the 2000-2001 season — right in the middle of Pedro Pauleta's spell at the Girondins. Arriving in 1999, the Portuguese striker quickly became one of the most feared scorers in Ligue 1, wearing #22 on his back.

🇵🇹 A goalscoring legend. Pauleta left Bordeaux in 2003 to join Paris Saint-Germain, where he became the club's all-time top scorer for many years — a record held until Zlatan Ibrahimović, and later Kylian Mbappé, took it.

📅 2002 World Cup — Portugal 4-0 Poland. Pauleta scored a stunning hat-trick, one of the great moments of his international career. He later captained Portugal at Euro 2004 on home soil.

👕 A rare third from the Siemens era. This grey-taupe chevron colourway, printed with the name of a striker who would become historic for two French clubs (Bordeaux, then PSG), is one of the less common pieces from Bordeaux's early-2000s wardrobe.
