The 1986 World Cup arguably is best remembered for Maradona’s two goals against England in the quarter-finals.

Maradona outjumped England keeper Peter Shilton to punch his first goal into the net with a raised fist, which was later described by the Argentine as being scored by the “Hand of God”.

His second was voted as the “Goal of the Century” in a Fifa poll, Maradona dribbling from his own half past five English players to score.

Both the jersey he wore that day, along with the ball from the match, have previously been sold at auction for millions.

“The trophy symbolizes the pinnacle of his career and he is the player of the century,” Thierry said.

“We can see there were some results from before when his jersey against England in 1986 being sold for I think £9m and the ball of the game went for £2m, so we expect millions.”, external
