Diego Maradona’s Hand of God shirt expected to fetch £4m at auction

The shirt worn by Diego Maradona when he scored two of football’s most notorious goals to knock England out of the 1986 World Cup, including the so-called Hand Of God, is set to fetch more than £4 million at auction.

The game saw the Argentinian player, hailed by many as the greatest of all time, score a hand goal he later described as made “a little with the head of Maradona, and a little with the hand of God”, as well as the “goal of the century” when he dribbled past a host of England players to score against goalkeeper Peter Shilton.
