Peter Shilton's England jersey from the 1986 World Cup quarter-final against Argentina, featuring the 'Hand of God' moment, is set to be auctioned in July 2026.
The auction follows Diego Maradona's infamous hand-scored goal that was not detected by officials, leading to Argentina's 2-1 victory in Mexico during the pre-VAR era.
The auction features notable memorabilia including the 1958 World Cup gold medal awarded to Pele, along with medals and jerseys from the 1966 World Cup final, which have been exhibited across various UK venues prior to the sale.
Graham Budd Auctions values Shilton's nylon Umbro shirt at $268,000 to $400,000, with head David Convery calling the memorabilia culturally significant and rarely available for sale.
This auction commemorates the 40th anniversary of the 'Hand of God' match and the 60th of England's only World Cup win, reflecting enduring international impact on football fans and history.
