sc Heerenveen presents a unique Orange shirt in honor of Abe Lenstra, one of the greatest footballers of all time. The shirt is a tribute to the Frisian legend. It is a retro shirt of the Dutch national team in which Abe Lenstra played his last international match. The cotton shirt breathes pure football history and connects three worlds: Orange, sc Heerenveen, and the greatest Frisian footballer of all time. On April 19, 1959, the Olympic Stadium was packed when Abe Lenstra scored one more time. The international scored his 33rd goal in his 47th international match. He was 38 years old. Nineteen years and nineteen days earlier, he made his Orange debut. What he did in his first match, he did again now: he brought the crowd to their feet with his scoring ability. The phenomenon of Frisian soil took his leave in style. His name is still in the books: he has the longest international career ever in the Dutch national team. As a pearl of sc Heerenveen, he conquered the Netherlands. Abe was an unpredictable force. A legend, who everyone wanted to see with their own eyes. On Sportpark Noord, the crowd is growing by the week. People come from far and wide to see Abe: his genius ball control, his tactical vision, his goals. Even at away matches, the crowd is streaming in. Not for the home team, but for the Frisian phenomenon. It is inevitable: Orange calls. On March 31, 1940, Abe made his debut for the Dutch national team. The 19-year-old showed in ten minutes what Fryslân already knew. Abe scored. Always. Everywhere. The Luxembourg goalkeeper was beaten. His status as a hero grew per match, but became legendary in the first post-war confrontation with West Germany. With two goals, Abe was the matchwinner in a duel that went beyond football. And even in his last match for the national team, it was a success. Abe took his leave as only Abe could. Abe Lenstra in his last international match. A unique edition. Authentic details such as the historical KNVB logo and subtle references to Abe with his image on the side and inside the collar make this jersey special. A tribute to the greatest Frisian footballer of all time, captured in a beautiful design. Will you score this collector's item? There are only 500 available, all including a beautiful storage box.
