Maradona scored two goals in a shirt in the 1986 World Cup quarter-final match against England in Mexico City. The  first goal of the Argentine superstar officially dominated the header, although the ball clearly touched Maradona’s fist. Maradona later said that he was chopped “a little with Maradona’s head, a little with God’s hand.” 

The second goal of his game, which was named “Goal of the Century” at the 2002 FIFA Tournament, saw him dribble through almost the entire England national team before defeating goalkeeper Peter Shilton. 

Argentina won Game 21 and won the World Cup After the match, Maladona exchanged shirts with England midfielder Steve Hodge, who lent the shirt to England’s National Football Museum in Manchester  for sale.  

Maradona, considered by many to be the greatest player of all time, died in November 2020 at the age of 60.  Brahm Wachter,  head of Sotheby’s streetwear and modern collector’s items, said the shirt “clearly reminds us of  important moments not only in the history of sports, but also in the history of the 20th century.” ..
