Torino FC Home Jersey 2001/03 – Cristiano Lucarelli – No.9 – Autographed Vintage Store with Dedication – Asics – Serie A – COA Included

Torino FC Vintage Store shirt signed by Cristiano Lucarelli with dedication

A historic Torino FC store version shirt from 2001-2003, when Cristiano Lucarelli wore the number 9 shirt for the Granata in Serie A. The characteristic monochrome maroon is enhanced by the classic perforated white polo collar of the first generation of Asics shirts for the Piedmontese (technical sponsor from 2001 to 2008). On the left chest, the embroidered white Asics logo stands out, while on the right chest, the historic oval TC Torino emblem in its pre-2005 version, with maroon and blue colors, is applied. On the right sleeve, the classic Lega Calcio Serie A patch of the time with a black and white ball and a tricolor flag is sewn. This is the store version without a commercial sponsor — a retail alternative to the match versions with Conto Arancio (2001/02) or Ixfin (2002/03) — valued for the documentary value of the clean kit. On the back, the surname "LUCARELLI" printed in white and the large number 9 above which stands out the original autograph with a personalized dedication in blue marker: "To Sergio Granata with tenacity / You with the Ultracci and Us without a Sponsor." XXL label, 100% Polyester, Made in Italy. Good condition: the shirt has two small holes in the shoulder area near the collar on the back, due to wear and tear over time and not competitive use (visible in the detailed photos).

The bomber: Cristiano Lucarelli

Cristiano Lucarelli (Livorno, October 4, 1975) is one of the most beloved Italian center-forwards of his generation, a symbol of visceral passion and loyalty to his colors. He arrived at Torino in the summer of 2001 after Lecce, and played two seasons in Serie A with the Granata (2001/02 and 2002/03), totaling 56 appearances and 10 goals — including the famous goal in the derby with Juventus on October 14, 2001, which ended in a 3-3 draw after Juventus had been 3-0 up. In the summer of 2003, he chose to return to Livorno, halving his salary to play in his hometown, a gesture that consecrated him as an icon of popular Italian football. Top scorer in Serie A 2004/05 with 24 goals, he earned 6 caps and scored 3 goals with the national team.
