The most infamous goalkeeper shirt in football history is set to go under the hammer for a staggering £300,000.
The iconic grey jersey was worn by Peter Shilton during England’s infamous “Hand of God” clash against Diego Maradona at the 1986 World Cup.
The legendary quarter-final at the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City produced one of the most controversial moments the sport has ever seen when Maradona punched the ball into the net past Shilton.

Argentina went on to beat England 2-1 in the fiery encounter, as reported by Whats The Jam.
Experts say the historic shirt has undergone a detailed authentication process using specialist technology before being confirmed as the exact jersey worn by Shilton during the clash.
Auction expert David Convery said: “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.”
Maradona’s infamous first goal – later dubbed the “Hand of God” – saw the Argentine legend deliberately handle the ball past the England keeper before the referee allowed it to stand.
