Bobby Moore's 1966 World Cup final shirt MISSING as family left baffled by mystery buyer

Bobby Moore 's famous shirt in which he led England to victory during the 1996 World Cup final has gone missing.

57 years on from the most famous moment in English football history, as Moore lifted the Jules Rimet trophy at Wembley following the Three Lions' 4-2 win against West Germany, his family have been left baffled by the shirt's whereabouts. In 2021, the FA informed them that it was in the hands of a 'mystery private buyer'.

The last time that Moore's ex-wife, Tina, saw the red No.6 jersey, it was in her attic. But that was years before the her ex-husband's death from bowel cancer in 1993. Since his passing, Tina searched vigorously for the shirt, as well as for Pele 's jersey which Moore inherited after his iconic exchange with the Brazilian hero following their two nations' memorable clash at the 1970 World Cup.
