Pelé’s iconic blue No 10 shirt from the 1958 World Cup final is expected to become one of the most expensive football artefacts ever sold after being put up for auction.
The Brazilian was 17 when he scored two goals in the 5-2 win over Sweden to secure the Seleção’s first World Cup and write his name into football lore. Now Sotheby’s expects the shirt’s rich history will lead to it fetching more than $6m (£4.5m) when it goes under the hammer in New York next month.
