Joseph ˆPepˆ Guardiola played a short stint in Italian serie A, both for Brescia and AS Roma. The latter he only played 4 games, mostly because of Peps 4 month ban after having been suspected taking nandrolone... Now wether or not he took it, is not for me to judge. But the Italian 90s football, would it have been as good without the alleged blood improving substances? Likely not. Things were definitely going on. There are also stories that Pep and Capello had a falling out, and I can see that as they are very different managers. Capello the great disciplinarian against the Catalan. Anyways the master tactician was in his early days of thinking about life after football, so the Capello instance would have shaped his thoughts of the game already then.

 This jersey is one of my most prized ones hence the price to condition ratio. Shirt is not mint, but good. I think you will likely not find another one here on ebay. The only one I have found is the Champions League Jersey. Let me know if you do find a black one with Pep on the back. Size XXL feels like L (Kappa tight fit). Original league jersey from 02/03, with a 31 year old Guardiola no. 28 on back. Some scuff and wear on the Mazda and the printed name, but in good condition. Would look stunning on the wall.
