Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' shirt sold for £4 million
The pullover Diego Maradona wore when he scored his 'Hand of God' objective at the 1986 FIFA World Cup has turned into the most costly shirt on the planet.
This was after it was placed marked down at London-based barker Sotheby's, with an initial offering cost of £4 million made.
Maradona passed on in November 2020 at 60 years old yet his questionable 'Hand of God' objective remaining parts one of football's discussed points.
The previous Argentina skipper scored two times in the semi-last of the 1986 World Cup as his nation wiped out England.
His most memorable strike went under dubious conditions after he utilized his hand to push the ball into the net on the blindside of the arbitrator.
Maradona's subsequent objective, be that as it may, typified his style and enchantment, as he spilled from his own region through an ocean of English bodies, prior to adjusting the goalkeeper to score.
Argentina proceeded to win the World Cup that year following triumph against Germany in the last of the competition.
In the consequence of that semi-last game, Maradona traded the shirt with England player Steve Hodge.
Maradona's 'Hand of God' shirt was placed out there for anyone to see on Wednesday in London, with an initial bid of £4 million made during the closeout.
The sum has, accordingly, crushed the past record for the most costly shirt, which was set by Pele's 1970 World Cup shirt.
Pele shirt was sold in 2002 for £157,750.
