The shirt worn by England goalkeeper Peter Shilton in the ‘Hand of God’ World Cup quarter-final against Argentina in 1986 is to be auctioned with an estimated sale price of up to £300,000.
In one of the most famous games in the competition’s history, Diego Maradona used his left hand to lift the ball over the onrushing Shilton to put his country ahead.
Four minutes later, the South American side’s captain scored what is widely regarded as one of the greatest goals of all time as he dribbled from his own half past several England players.
Maradona’s No 10 shirt from the game fetched a then record £7.1m at auction in May 2022.
When asked whether he had cheated to score the opener, the midfielder said it was scored “a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God”.
Shilton’s shirt is being sold by a private collector from the UK as part of an auction expected to be held next July before the 2026 World Cup final.
