Bruggink was already an Eredivisie regular by this time and had been FC Twente's top scorer in 95-96. Nike took over from Lotto as the KNVB's kit manufacturer after Euro '96 and this design was used by the senior side in qualification for the 1998 World Cup and by the U-21 team in their campaign to reach the 1998 European Championship to be held in Romania. This home shirt was worn all of the matches except for away trips to Wales and Belgium as the side topped their group winning 6 out of 8 matches. Bruggink formed a great strike partnership with Roy Makaay in this time and was a regular for the U-21 team from 95-99 representing them 27 times in total Click the banner to get it at ONLY: GBP149.99
