Infamous ‘Hand of God' shirt from England clash with Maradona up for auction for £300k along with Pele World Cup medal
Shilton's grey-and-blue No 1 goalkeeper top, that will forever be remembered for that iconic moment by Diego Maradona in Mexico City 39 years ago, has been valued at £200,000 to £300,000.
It is part of a treasure trove of football memorabilia to be sold on behalf of Graham Budd Auctions during the 2026 World Cup finals in North and Central America.
Other items available to buy in 12 months' time include Brazilian legend Pele's 1958 World Cup winners' medal, which is valued at £300,000 to £500,000.
Gordon Banks' 1966 World Cup winners' medal from the 4-2 final triumph over West Germany at Wembley could fetch between £220,000 and 300,000.
The No 7 long-sleeved match shirt worn by the late Alan Ball in that clash is priced at £150k-£200k.
And a complete set of 1966 World Cup ticket stubs for all 32 matches has been valued at £7,000 to £10,000.
England's 125-cap record-holder Shilton, 75, sold his kit to a private collector following their controversial finals exit.
A special launch event in Manchester takes place today and several items from the collection will be showcased at Premier League and Championship grounds throughout the year.
David Convery, head of sporting memorabilia at Graham Budd Auctions, said: 'Items like this don't come up for sale normally.
'The impact of Peter Shilton — and other greats like Pele — has been felt by the generations of footballers and fans that have followed, on an international scale.
'Pele remains the youngest World Cup goalscorer of all time.

'You never know what treasure you might already have at home.'
The late Diego Maradona scored two goals — the first with his hand, the second with a sensational 40-yard dribble — as Argentina eliminated Bobby Robson's Three Lions from the '86 finals.
Tunisian referee Ali Ben Nasser failed to spot the deliberate handball by the cheating Argies captain — who died aged 60 in November 2020 — and the controversy still rages.
Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Steve Hodge nabbed Maradona's blue Argentina match shirt following the 2-1 Three Lions defeat.
He stored it in his attic before it sold for £7.1MILLION — the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia ever.

Bronze a warrior but hopefully semi-final will be less of a battle
Exciting, exhausting, entertaining. Whatever you thought of that Sweden quarter-final and who deserved to win it, there is no question it was a thriller. England did enough, got into the semi-finals and in years to come, if you win the European Championship people will not look at how you got through to the last four. Sarina Wiegman had a plan – she always has a plan – and it worked. But in tournament football, it's all about achieving the end result, even in a match as bonkers as that. You know Sarina has a plan for every scenario and of course her introduction of Chloe Kelly now looks like a masterstroke following two assists in three minutes after coming on. Putting a right-footer like Chloe on the left wing worked wonders. But let's not overlook the part played by Beth Mead assisting fellow substitute Michelle Agyemang. They were just sensational and gave the Swedish a totally different problem. Agyemang's strength and poise in the dying minutes to claw England level was just brilliant. For me, the real star was Lucy Bronze. Now aged 33, she gets people questioning her durability and speed. She is a winner and has looked after herself brilliantly and brought some much-needed leadership, experience and know-how to get her team out of a hole. First, she made it 2-1 with a great header from Kelly's cross, then she scored the key penalty that ended up winning the shoot-out for us. To take that spot-kick when all around her were missing theirs and score like she did (at 102 kilometres-per-hour, or 63mph, by the way) was simply fantastic execution. Hannah Hampton was superb in goal but Lucy was immense. There should be a statue of her outside Wembley. It had looked unrealistic to get back into the tie until her goal, which reignited English hope, and there's no way anyone should be left questioning Lucy now. I said on commentary at the time that penalty was her Stuart Pearce Euro 96 moment. Let's be honest, they were not great penalties in general and the shoot-out showed how drained the players were. Of course, it was great as a goalkeeper to see save after save! I don't know how Sweden organised their takers but keeper Jennifer Falk took criticism for her miss in the first five. I'd say she would have been brimming with confidence to take one after saving three from England. Maybe there was a bit of adrenaline coursing through her at that stage and that got the better of her. However, keepers are great outfielders too these days so I have no issue with her taking such an important penalty. The big question for the Lionesses ahead of the next round will be over personnel. There were plenty of walking wounded after Thursday night, not least captain Leah Williamson. So we must see who is ready to face Italy and it could be that there are enforced changes to the XI. England do have the squad depth to cope with that, as the Sweden match demonstrated. Against Italy tomorrow, they face a different test. I can't see Sarina going out to play any differently but we have to beware the Italian wing-backs, who are really, really good and bomb up and down the flanks relentlessly. Aged 35 and with 122 caps, this is the biggest moment in striker and captain Cristiana Girelli's career and her team have never made it to this stage before. One game away from the final, they will be hoping that this is their time. More Trending But now we are in the last four, this is an opportunity that needs to be embraced by England. I never stopped believing – even when we were 2-0 down at half-time against the Swedes with a mountain to climb. If you'd told me at the beginning of the tournament we would be playing Italy in the semi-finals, I'd have taken it but the Lionesses have had one war with Sweden and they will not want another battle of that kind.

India enjoy ‘epic crossover' with visit to Man Utd
Manchester United welcomed the India cricket team to Carrington on Sunday as part of 'an epic crossover' between two of the world's most followed sport teams. The Red Devils opened pre-season with a 0-0 draw against Leeds on Saturday in Stockholm and welcomed some special guests to the training ground the following morning. India are in town ahead of the key fourth Test against England getting under way at Emirates Old Trafford on Wednesday, with their players and staff mixing with United counterparts at Carrington. The Board of Control for Cricket in India called it 'an epic crossover' in a post on X, which showed their team and the hosts mingling in one another's shirts with personalised names. India captain Shubman Gill said: 'It's very exciting to be able to meet top athletes in the world from another sport, to get to know their stories is very inspiring. 'You're playing two different sports, but the mindset that you play with is most of the times very similar.' Gill spoke with United skipper Bruno Fernandes about their respective roles, while head coach Gautam Gambhir chatted to counterpart Ruben Amorim. 'It was a nice interaction – what his ideology is towards team sport and what my ideology is towards team sport,' Gambhir said. 'The basic foundation of a team sport is very similar, where I feel that I think it's the players that adapt to what the team needs rather than the team that adapts to a certain individual. 'That is the culture which we want to build.' Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav seemed to particularly enjoy the experience and picked Amorim's brains about his approach for the new season. 'I was looking forward to talking to Ruben,' he said. 'I've been following him from Sporting. 'I asked him few questions about the tactics, whether they're going to stick with the 3-4-3 this season. 'I had a chance to chat to Casemiro about how I admire him as a player and, yeah, it was very nice.' Yadav later posted a picture of him with the Portuguese on X with the caption: 'Sharing football knowledge with the man who's redefining the game.' India arrive in Manchester trailing England 2-1 in the five-Test series, while United head to the United States for their pre-season tour on Tuesday.
