Everton 2009-10 Le Coq Sportif Fellaini XXL vintage shirt

Everton 2009-10 Le Coq Sportif Shirt – The FELLAINI Era at Goodison Park

In 2009-2010, David Moyes' Everton was a Premier League war machine – solid, feared, driven by a certain Marouane Fellaini who was beginning to shake up English defences with his legendary hair and accidental elbows. This Everton Le Coq Sportif 2009-10 home shirt with FELLAINI printing in size XXL is a concrete fragment of that pivotal era for the Toffees.

What this shirt represents

The 2009-2010 season saw Everton at their best under Moyes: ambitious, organised, capable of challenging anyone in the Premier League. The club finished eighth in the final standings, but the numbers don't tell the whole story — this team was tough to beat, with a tactical coherence and intensity that made matches at Goodison Park particularly hostile for visitors. All this with Le Coq Sportif as kit manufacturer, an original interlude in the history of Toffees shirts, far from the usual giants of the industry.

The dressing room was packed with talent. Marouane Fellaini, of course, already indispensable despite his young age, a luxury substitute and undisputed starter depending on the matches. Around him, Tim Cahill continued to score headers out of nowhere, Mikel Arteta dictated the midfield with his passing quality, and Louis Saha tried to bring his class up front. It was a team built to last, not to shine — but it did shine at times.

Moments etched in this shirt

Fellaini, the confirmed revelation
Arriving in 2008 for £15 million — a club record at the time — Fellaini confirmed in 2009-10 that he was one of England's toughest midfielders to contain. His ability to physically dominate defenders while covering an incredible amount of ground made him a key part of Moyes' system.

Moyes, the builder of Goodison
David Moyes was then in the process of building his legacy at Everton. Each season, he got the most out of a financially limited squad against the giants of the league — it is this work ethic that makes this period so endearing for Toffees fans.

Le Coq Sportif, the unexpected kit manufacturer
Between 2009 and 2012, Le Coq Sportif designed Everton's shirts in a collaboration no one really saw coming. The result? Clean, recognisable designs that stood out from the standardised production of major kit manufacturers — and which have now become sought-after pieces by vintage shirt collectors.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic vintage shirt is one that was actually circulated at the time — sold in stores, worn in the stands, worn out by years and washes. It's not a recent reproduction; it's the real original piece with its period tags, specific finishes, and sometimes the small imperfections that testify to a well-lived life. In the Everton collector's shirt market, the value difference between an authentic and a replica is considerable.

This shirt does not have a specified condition rating — meaning you need to look at the photos carefully and, if necessary, ask directly. What we do know: it's an XXL with Fellaini printing, a rare size in the vintage market, and authentic large sizes from this period are significantly less common than M or L. For an informed collector, that's precisely the opportunity.

Vintage size guide

Vintage sizes from the 2000s don't always match today's standards — even an XXL can be surprising depending on the kit manufacturer and season. Le Coq Sportif has a reputation for cutting relatively straight, but each era has its own measurements. Never rely solely on the label when buying a vintage shirt.

Before confirming your order, take a shirt you wear regularly, lay it flat and measure the shoulder width, chest width (under the armpits) and total length. Compare these measurements with those of the seller if available — or ask for them. This is the only way to avoid unpleasant surprises and ensure that this Everton 2009-10 shirt will truly fit you.

Why you should have it in your collection

The Everton x Le Coq Sportif partnership lasted only three seasons. This is not a long period, and authentic shirts from that era — especially those printed with an emblematic player like Fellaini — are increasingly difficult to find. An XXL with printing is an extra layer of rarity: large sizes sell quickly in the vintage Premier League football shirt market, and they rarely come back.

The condition is not specified on this product sheet, so it's best to err on the side of caution and check the visuals. But if the condition is good, this is exactly the kind of piece you regret not buying when it's still available. An original Fellaini Everton shirt from this period doesn't grow on trees — neither online, nor anywhere else.
