The Arsenal 2005–06 Home Retro Football Shirt commemorates the club’s final season at Highbury after 93 years at their historic home. Arsène Wenger’s side finished fourth in the Premier League and made history in Europe, reaching the UEFA Champions League Final for the first time after overcoming Real Madrid, Juventus and Villarreal during a memorable European campaign.
Thierry Henry captained the side and enjoyed another outstanding season, scoring 33 goals in all competitions, becoming Arsenal’s all-time leading goalscorer and completing a memorable hat-trick in the final competitive match at Highbury. The campaign was also Dennis Bergkamp’s final season as a professional, while Cesc Fàbregas, Robert Pirès, Freddie Ljungberg and Robin van Persie were among the other notable members of the squad.
The shirt is instantly recognisable for its distinctive redcurrant colour, introduced specifically to commemorate Arsenal’s final season at Highbury and inspired by the colours associated with the club’s arrival at the ground in 1913. Rather than the familiar bright red body and white sleeves, the shirt uses a rich redcurrant base complemented by elegant gold detailing, the central club crest and O2 sponsorship. Dedicated Highbury 1913–2006 commemorative elements complete one of the most distinctive Arsenal home shirts of the Wenger era.

Rec. Player Printing Options
Printing Position Recommendation HENRY 14 Forward Best Printing Choice. Arsenal captain and the club’s leading scorer with 33 goals in all competitions. He also became Arsenal’s all-time leading goalscorer and scored a hat-trick in the final competitive match at Highbury. BERGKAMP 10 Forward His final season as a professional coincided with Arsenal’s farewell to Highbury, giving this combination exceptional historical and sentimental value. FABREGAS 15 Midfielder Made 50 appearances in all competitions and emerged as a key figure during Arsenal’s historic run to the Champions League Final. PIRES 7 Midfielder A defining player of Wenger’s Highbury era, completing his final Arsenal season in 2005–06. LJUNGBERG 8 Midfielder One of the most recognisable members of Arsenal’s successful early-2000s generation and an excellent Highbury-era collector option. V. PERSIE 11 Forward A strong younger-generation option from an important early stage of his Arsenal career, scoring 11 goals in all competitions. Best Printing Choice: HENRY 14
Second Choice: BERGKAMP 10We recommend HENRY 14 as the definitive printing choice for the Arsenal 2005–06 Home Retro Football Shirt. Thierry Henry captained Arsenal during their final season at Highbury and delivered another exceptional campaign, scoring 33 goals in all competitions and 27 in the Premier League. He became Arsenal’s all-time leading goalscorer during the season before producing a memorable hat-trick in the final competitive match at Highbury against Wigan Athletic. HENRY 14 combines outstanding season-specific performance, iconic status and a direct connection to the farewell to Highbury.
Our second recommendation is BERGKAMP 10. The 2005–06 campaign was Dennis Bergkamp’s final season as a professional, meaning his farewell as an Arsenal player coincided with the club’s farewell to Highbury. For collectors particularly associated with Arsenal’s Highbury era, BERGKAMP 10 is an especially meaningful alternative.
