Dimitar Berbatov's Shirt Collection

Dimitar Berbatov took to Instagram to share some absolutely banging Newcastle United and AC Milan football shirts in his locker. The former Manchester United striker was visiting his Mum and Dad when he found two of his first ever football shirts from when he was 15. We love it when footballers share stories about their first ever football shirts (so much so we published a book of interviews about them) and Berba did not disappoint).

The first was a Newcastle United long sleeve Adidas shirt with Berbatov on the back and #9 with Premier League numbering. The second shirt was an AC Milan with #9 on the back, signed by Van Basten. An absolute classic.
