If Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi sold their match-worn shirts now, how much would they be bought for? Here's what you need to know about the most expensive football shirt ever sold. What is the most expensive football shirt of all-time?The priciest football shirt ever sold is the No. 10 shirt worn by Brazil legend Pele during the 1970 World Cup final, which was bought at Christie's, London on March 27, 2002 for £157,750 ($225,109). Pele had scored the first goal of the final against Italy in the 18th minute, which ended in a 4-1 victory that ultimately crowned Brazil world champions. Article continues below Gerson, Jairzinho and Carlos Alberto rounded out the scoring for the Selecao, though Roberto Boninsegna equalised in the 37th minute to cancel out Pele's opener. The shirt was sold by former Italy international Roberto Rosarto, who played in the final and exchanged shirts with Pele. It was sold for three times the expected price. The buying price was originally estimated to fall between £30,000 and £50,000, but the bidding process was rapid and the final amount sold obviously stretched well beyond expectations. The legendary No. 10's shirt was purchased by an anonymous buyer via telephone. Pele scored four goals in the 1970 World Cup tournament, and is regarded as one of the greatest players to have ever graced a football pitch. The Brazil talisman is a three-time World Cup winner, lifting his first trophy in 1958. He remains his country's all-time top goalscorer, netting 77 goals in 92 games. He spent the first 18 seasons of his career at Brazilian side Santos, netting 619 goals in 638 league appearances. He lifted six Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A titles and two Copa Libertadores trophies before transferring to New York Cosmos in 1975, where he finished his playing career two years later. The former most expensive shirt in the world was England international Sir Geoff Hurst's shirt worn during the 1966 World Cup final against West Germany, sold for £91,750 in September 2000. Hurst scored a hat-trick in the 4-2 victory that saw the Three Lions win the World Cup for the first time. We know the narrative -- the new coach, the new GM, the young talent. In ESPN The Magazine, Jordan Brenner explores the unknowns: where Cleveland is weak, where it is strong and where the King fits in. by Jordan Brenner Soccer memorabilia collectors may need some divine intervention of their own if they want to get their hands on the shirt in which Diego Maradona scored his infamous “Hand of God” goal. Luxury auction house Sotheby’s announced this week that it would sell the jersey online starting later this month. It is expected to fetch at least £4 million ($5.22 million US), which would make it by far the most expensive football shirt ever sold at auction. The record is currently held by Pele’s shirt from the 1970 World Cup final, which sold for £157,750 in January 2002 (about $222,400 US at the time). The shirt could also eclipse the record for the most expensive piece of memorabilia from any sport. That currently belongs to a New York Yankees jersey worn by Babe Ruth somewhere between 1928 and 1930, which sold at auction for $5.64 million US in June 2019. On June 22, 1986, Argentina faced England in the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup in front of 114,850 spectators at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. Six minutes into the second half, English midfielder Steve Hodge misplayed a ball in his own half, and it looped into the English penalty area. Maradona and English goalkeeper Peter Shilton both jumped for it, and Maradona knocked the ball into the net with his left hand. But, from his angle, the referee thought Maradona had headed it in; he allowed the goal to stand and Argentina took a 1-0 lead. After the game, Maradona said the goal was scored “un poco con la cabeza de Maradona y otro poco con la mano de Dios” (“a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God”). Maradona scored again in the 55th minute, and Argentina went on to win 2-1. There was no doubt about the legality of his second goal, though, as he dribbled 60 yards and past four England defenders before outmaneuvering Shilton and slotting home the “Goal of the Century.” After the match, Hodge ran into Maradona near the change rooms and asked him to swap shirts. Maradona agreed, and Hodge had remained the sole owner of the shirt until he decided to put it up for sale recently. It had been on loan to the National Football Museum in Manchester, England, since 2002. “I looked him in the eye, tugged on my shirt as if to say ’any chance of swapping?’, and he came straight across, motioned a prayer, and we exchanged shirts. And that was it. It was just as simple as that,” Hodge is quoted as saying in the listing on the Sotheby’s website. Sadly, Maradona passed away at his home in Argentina on November 25, 2020, at the age of 60. He did, however, finally admit to using hand to score the goal in his 2000 autobiography, Yo soy el Diego:
The shirts Argentina wore against England have quite the story themselves. The team originally arrived in Mexico with blue cotton away kits, but found the material uncomfortable in the scorching sun. After beating Uruguay 1-0 in the round of 16, manager Carlos Bilardo sent one of his coaches out to shops in Mexico City to find lighter shirts. The coach came back with two options that weighed virtually the same, and team officials couldn’t decide between them. That’s when Maradona appeared, pointed to one of them, and purportedly said, “That’s a nice jersey. We’ll beat England in that.” The coach then went back to the shop and bought 38 shirts. Makeshift Argentine Football Association crests were sewn on the front, and silver numbers originally meant for American football jerseys were ironed on the back. After beating England, Argentina went on to beat Belgium in the semifinals and West Germany in the final to capture their second World Cup. Maradona finished the tournament with five goals and won the Golden Ball, given to the tournament’s best player. The auction is set to run exclusively online from April 20 to May 4, during which time the shirt will also be on display at Sotheby’s New Bond Street gallery in London, England. UPDATE (April 9, 2022): Since news of the auction broke earlier this week, Diego Maradona’s daughter Dalma has come forward saying that the shirt Sotheby’s is selling is not the one in which Maradona scored his famous goals against England. Dalma says her father changed jerseys at halftime of the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal, and the shirt Sotheby’s is selling is the one he wore in the first half. Both the “Hand of God” goal and the “Goal of the Century” were scored in the second half. Dalma also says she knows who has the second-half jersey, but wouldn’t reveal their identity, only saying that it was neither her nor her mother, Claudia Villafañe, who divorced Maradona in 2003. But Sotheby’s refuted those claims, telling Forbes in an email that there were “clear differences” in the shirts Maradona wore in the first and second halves, and they had investigated the jersey before putting it up for sale. Sotheby’s said they’d had an independent company photomatch the shirt they’re selling to images of Maradona in the second half of the game, and that Maradona himself described giving the shirt in which he scored the goals to Hodge in a memoir published in 2016. They also noted that the authenticity of the shirt was never questioned in the time it was displayed at the National Football Museum in Manchester.
