Excellent condition
Excellent condition for a 2008 piece: no stains, no fading, the gold still bright. One point flagged in full transparency — a very light micro snag in the fabric on the back (see photo 6), with no hole through the material. The TAIWO No.3 printing and the sleeve patches are intact.

📖 2008-2009: Gerets' Marseille and the last UEFA Cup
This gold long-sleeve third is one of the most distinctive shirts in Marseille's recent history: not white, not blue, but gold. It belongs to the 2008-2009 season, when the club returned to the front rank under Éric Gerets.
🥈 Ligue 1 runners-up 2008-2009. Marseille finished second behind Bordeaux, their best league finish in several seasons — and the springboard to the 2010 title.
🏆 The last UEFA Cup in history. 2008-2009 was the final edition of the UEFA Cup before it became the Europa League. The trophy patches on this shirt will therefore never be reissued.
👑 Taye Taiwo — Nigerian left-back at Marseille from 2005 to 2011, remembered at the Vélodrome for the sheer power of his shooting and his free kicks. A cult player for that generation of supporters.

🎯 Who is this shirt for?
← Scroll →
01
The Marseille supporter
The gold third, the n9uf sponsor, the Gerets era: three markers of a season Marseille fans have not forgotten.
02
The long-sleeve collector
Long-sleeve versions were made in far smaller numbers. In XL and in 9.5/10 condition, this is a genuine find.
03
The lover of extinct patches
The UEFA Cup has not existed since 2009. A shirt still wearing its official patches is dated forever.
04
A gift that lands
A gold shirt, long sleeves, with a cult player's printing: not the kind of piece you can give twice.
Not sure? My Mystery Box offer is a great alternative — just add "Marseille" in the order notes.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Is the shirt 100% authentic?
Yes. Original adidas label photographed with product code 314350 (photo 4) — a code you can verify yourself. Embroidered crest, period n9uf sponsor, correct UEFA Cup patches. Real photos of the exact item sold, lifetime authenticity guarantee.
Is it really a long-sleeve shirt?
Yes, this is the long-sleeve version of the 2008-2009 gold third (photos 1 and 2). These were produced in far smaller quantities than the short-sleeve version, which makes them noticeably harder to find today.
What are the sleeve patches?
They are the official UEFA Cup badges, worn in that season's European matches. 2008-2009 was the last edition of that competition before it became the Europa League — these patches can no longer be produced.
Is the micro snag a problem?
No, it is a very light surface snag in the back fabric, with no hole through the material and no pulled thread visible from a distance. I photographed it close up (photo 6) rather than leaving it out — it is the only reason this shirt is graded 9.5 rather than 10.
How much is shipping and how fast?
Shipped within 48 working hours with tracked Colissimo (€5.99 within mainland France, free over €100). International rates and delivery times are detailed in my shipping FAQ. 14-day returns if unworn.
