Shilton shirt from 'Hand of God' clash to be sold
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, of the most famous games in the competition's history, it saw Diego Maradona use his left hand to lift the ball over the on-rushing Shilton to put his country 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 No 10 shirt from the game fetched a then-record of £7.1m at auction in May 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 ahead of the 2026 World Cup final. 'Moment in history' David Convery, of Graham Budd Auctions, said the the jersey being auctioned had been verified through photo-matching, with tops from games earlier in the tournament having been discounted as part of the authentication process."As you can imagine, coming off his back in 100 degree heat in 1986, it has a wee bit of a whiff to it."There are a couple of pulls and snags due to the material but it's in pretty fantastic condition."It's from a moment in history and the second goal was unbelievable. As a specialist auctioneer, it's up there having held nine of the 11 World Cup winners' medals from 1966 and medals from every final since." Second goal like 'dream' Shilton, who went on to win a record 125 caps for his country, declined to be interviewed when contacted by the Peter Reid, who Maradona sprinted away from on his way to slotting home his second goal, describes the shirt as a reminder of a special at the National Football Museum in Manchester, the former midfielder recalled an intense build-up with the world's media camped outside the team hotel for the first clash between the sides since the Falklands War earlier in the decade."When you put it all together - the handball, the second goal, who Maradona was - it's an iconic game. It's fair to call it that."[England manager] Bobby Robson wasn't great with names. He called him Madonna.""But when he watched a football match, he could tell you that someone could play the game well," fellow 1986 squad member Viv Anderson added. "He went past me, played a one-two," says Reid, picking up the story again."I felt comfortable feeling Shilts was going to get it. As he went up, I saw the handball. Maradona did it well. It was cute, you would say that."I remember the ground exploding [with fans celebrating] and I realised he'd given it. Glenn Hoddle, Terry Fenwick, Shilts and me ran after the referee."Reid describes seeing Maradona's second goal unfold as he forlornly gave chase as like "being in a dream"."He was just too quick. If you look again, Hoddle gets fouled, it wasn't given and then Maradona's gone."His touch and pace [was staggering] even with the pitch being awful and covered with potholes. He was just too quick.""From the stand at the far end of the stadium where I was sat as a substitute, I just clapped," Anderson interjects."Well, I was on the pitch so couldn't have got away with that," Reid responds with a laugh. Other items due to be auctioned as part of the same event include Pele's World Cup winner's medal from 1958, which is valued at up to £500, Banks' 1966 winner's medal is estimated to fetch about £300,000 while Alan Ball's shirt from the game is expected to sell for in the region of £200, going under the hammer will be goalscorer Martin Peters' spare shirt from the final which auctioneers suggest is worth in the region of £50,000.

Murray's autographed shirt from 2013 Wimbledon final up for auction
LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) - Andy Murray's match-worn shirt from his historic 2013 Wimbledon triumph could soon adorn the wall of a lucky fan's home, for the right price, after it was put up for auction along with other pieces of sporting memorabilia from the tournament. Murray, 38, claimed two of his three Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon and ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion at the grasscourt Grand Slam in 2013 when he defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the final. One of the three Adidas shirts the Scot wore in that match is up for grabs in an online sale held by Graham Budd Auctions in partnership with Golden Age of Tennis, with the auction set to conclude on July 13. Murray's shirt, signed by the player and authenticated by Wimbledon's head groundsman, is expected to fetch up to 8,000 pounds ($10,928), while his baseball cap from the same match could attract bids close to 3,500 pounds. "There's no better time than Wimbledon weeks to celebrate tennis history," David Convery, the head of sporting memorabilia at Graham Budd Auctions, said in a statement. "This auction features truly iconic pieces ... each item a powerful link to the sport's greatest moments." Fans can also pick up the net that was used in the 2010 epic featuring John Isner and Nicolas Mahut, the longest professional tennis match in history that lasted 11 hours and five minutes and took place over three days. The net cord is autographed by Isner and Mahut. Autographed Wimbledon tennis balls with the signatures of Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer, Djokovic and Murray are also on offer for between 300-500 pounds. ($1 = 0.7320 pounds)
