The 1996-97 season is legendary in Schalke's history, defined by their triumphant UEFA Cup victory over Inter Milan. Under manager Huub Stevens, who took over from Jörg Berger early in the season, the team secured the club's first major European trophy. Despite the continental success, they finished a disappointing 12th in the Bundesliga.
Key Players
This era was defined by the "Eurofighters," including iconic goalkeeper Jens Lehmann and captain Olaf Thon. The squad also featured key players like Belgian forward Marc Wilmots, Dutch striker Youri Mulder, and defender Thomas Linke.
This is a pre-owned authentic vintage item. All kits sold at The Kit Dealer are checked, washed and treated by us - unless clearly listed as brand new with tags.
Our processing time for orders is typically 1–3 business days. We offer express shipping for domestic orders within Australia and optional express shipping for international customers.
Your satisfaction is our priority, and we take care to ensure your shirts arrive in top condition.
Old size labels lie. A 1996 large is not a 2026 large, and years of washing move the numbers again. So we don't print a one-size-fits-all chart on vintage shirts — we measure the shirt itself.
Ask below and our store staff will take this exact shirt off the rail, lay it flat and email you the real numbers, normally within 24 hours.
Chest — pit to pit, laid flat
Length — collar seam to hem
Sleeve, shoulder, or anything else you want checked
