This white away shirt was not available to buy as a replica and was only used in one match at the tournament so is particularly rare and unique. The match was against Sweden, who coincidentally were also wearing a non commercially available shirt, played at the Wing Stadium, Kobe and despite taking the lead through Aghahowa Festus Onigbinde's men lost out 2-1 with Henrik Larsson scoring a brace. The result put paid to the Super Eagles hopes of progressing from the group stage after they had lost their opening match to Argentina but they did restore some pride with a 0-0 draw against England. Lawal played the full match against Argentina but was not used in the other two matches. The long standing Roda JC winger made 53 appearances for Nigeria in total, winning a gold medal at the '96 Olympics and featuring at 7 other major international tournaments Click the banner to get it at ONLY: GBP499.99
