Infamous ‘Hand of God' shirt from England clash with Maradona up for auction for £300k along with Pele World Cup medal
Shilton's grey-and-blue No 1 goalkeeper top, that will forever be remembered for that iconic moment by Diego Maradona in Mexico City 39 years ago, has been valued at £200,000 to £300,000.
It is part of a treasure trove of football memorabilia to be sold on behalf of Graham Budd Auctions during the 2026 World Cup finals in North and Central America.
Other items available to buy in 12 months' time include Brazilian legend Pele's 1958 World Cup winners' medal, which is valued at £300,000 to £500,000.
Gordon Banks' 1966 World Cup winners' medal from the 4-2 final triumph over West Germany at Wembley could fetch between £220,000 and 300,000.
The No 7 long-sleeved match shirt worn by the late Alan Ball in that clash is priced at £150k-£200k.
And a complete set of 1966 World Cup ticket stubs for all 32 matches has been valued at £7,000 to £10,000.
England's 125-cap record-holder Shilton, 75, sold his kit to a private collector following their controversial finals exit.
A special launch event in Manchester takes place today and several items from the collection will be showcased at Premier League and Championship grounds throughout the year.
David Convery, head of sporting memorabilia at Graham Budd Auctions, said: 'Items like this don't come up for sale normally.
'The impact of Peter Shilton — and other greats like Pele — has been felt by the generations of footballers and fans that have followed, on an international scale.

The late Diego Maradona scored two goals — the first with his hand, the second with a sensational 40-yard dribble — as Argentina eliminated Bobby Robson's Three Lions from the '86 finals.
Tunisian referee Ali Ben Nasser failed to spot the deliberate handball by the cheating Argies captain — who died aged 60 in November 2020 — and the controversy still rages.
Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Steve Hodge nabbed Maradona's blue Argentina match shirt following the 2-1 Three Lions defeat.
He stored it in his attic before it sold for £7.1MILLION — the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia ever.

Rehan Ahmed and Tom Hartley join exclusive century and ten-for club
In claiming a second five-wicket haul in successive days, Tom Hartley not only inspired his side's second victory of the season but also became the first Lancashire player for 31 years to score a hundred and take ten wickets in the same match (Geoffrey Dean writes). The last to do so had been Mike Watkinson against Hampshire at Old Trafford in 1994. This was Hartley's third five-wicket return for his county, and his most important yet as it helped lift Lancashire from a lowly sixth to fourth in Division Two. They remain 21 points behind second-placed Glamorgan, but if they can beat the Welsh county at Old Trafford next week, will be well-placed to push for promotion. Gloucestershire had begun the day 78 adrift with all second-innings wickets in hand, but immediately lost Cameron Bancroft when he fell tamely to James Anderson, being caught at mid-wicket. Gallingly for the home side, his fellow opener Ben Charlesworth was also caught there off George Balderson to end a fine innings of 71. At one point, Lancashire's field placings were so funky they had seven men, and at one point eight, posted on the leg side for the seamers. On a dry pitch without much carry, it was always going to be spin that was the chief threat. Hartley lured Ollie Price into a rash drive that he edged to slip, before Chris Green, the Australian off spinner, deceived Miles Hammond with an arm ball, pinning him leg-before. After James Bracey was caught behind off a loose waft at Jack Blatherwick's medium pace, it was Hartley who took the key wicket of Joe Phillips. The 21-year old Cornishman had underlined his promise with a second fifty of the match, but when his side badly needed him to play a long innings, he was caught at short leg. In his next over, Hartley bowled the ball of the day to find Graeme van Buuren's edge with one that turned sharply. Zaman Akhter's cameo was ended by a superb diving return catch by the athletic Green, before Hartley ended Todd Murphy's stubborn resistance with one that spun out of the rough to bowl him through the gate. Last man Marchant de Lange was caught at silly point to give Hartley outstanding match figures of 11 for 215 from 62.4 overs. Needing 110 from 26 overs to win, Lancashire lost Luke Wells to Murphy in the third over, but even on a turning pitch, Gloucestershire had far too few runs to play with. Keaton Jennings, with a 60-ball fifty, saw his side home with ample time to spare. Rehan Ahmed became only the fourth Englishman this century to score a hundred and take ten wickets in the same match, guiding Division Two leaders Leicestershire to a 189-run victory over Derbyshire and strengthening their push for promotion. Shortly afterwards, Lancashire's Hartley repeated the remarkable feat, becoming the fifth Englishman to achieve the milestone in the 21st century. England all-rounder Ahmed finished the day with seven for 93, and 13 wickets in the match, as the hosts were dismissed for 256. Scarborough (final day of four): Yorkshire (13pts) drew with Surrey (14pts) Yesterday morning there seemed little chance of this game ending in anything but a draw (Paul Edwards writes). A combination of a true pitch, the Kookaburra ball and Wednesday's rain had seen to that. But Surrey are chasing a fourth successive title, so that did not prevent Rory Burns's side from doing their damnedest to pressurise hosts whose own concerns centre on the bottom of the Division One table. Having saved the follow-on inside the first hour of the morning's play, the Surrey batsmen went hell for leather for five bonus points. They reached that initial target of 450 with eight balls to spare and their overall approach was made clear by Ryan Patel, who drove Jack White to Dom Bess in the third over of the day and was dismissed eight runs short of his first century of the season. Patel's colleagues pursued similar tactics and by the time they were dismissed for 537, giving them a lead of 20, Surrey had smashed 199 runs off 33 overs yesterday. Josh Blake made his maiden first-class fifty before being stumped off Adam Lyth for 72 but the chief beneficiary and target of the visitors' aggression was Bess, who returned the eventful analysis of 35-6-162-7. Surrey's aim was to sweep aside a Yorkshire side reduced to ten men by the absence of Jonny Bairstow, whose partner, Megan, was in labour with their second child. The strategy produced an early success when Fin Bean fell to Sai Kishore for a single and a second three overs before tea when Lyth failed to get to the pitch of Dan Lawrence's off spinner, edging to Jamie Overton. Lawrence also took the catch at deepish gully that removed James Wharton just after tea and when the same fielder snaffled Will Luxton off Will Jacks, Yorkshire's lead was just 61 and there was a minimum of 19 overs remaining. In truth, though, it was never quite on. The draw was certain some time before the players shook hands with Yorkshire on 120 for five, giving them a lead of 100, and only 8.3 overs left. Yet Surrey's dynamic cricket preserved their unbeaten record and keeps them one point ahead of Nottinghamshire going into the final four games. Yorkshire, meanwhile, drop into the relegation places following Essex's victory at Hove, although they are only 13 points behind sixth-placed Hampshire.

Bucs' Desmond Watson, NFL's heaviest player, placed on non-football injury list due to weight
Desmond Watson's quest to make the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will get a late start. Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said the heaviest player in NFL history is day to day after starting camp on non-football injury list due to his weight. 'It's just about trying to get him better, to be a healthier player and getting him on the field a little more,' Bowles said Wednesday. 'That's kind of where I'm at right now. He's working at it and we're working with him and that's all you can ask right now.' Watson, who played at Florida, was signed after going undrafted in April. He weighed 464lb at the school's pro day and lost 25 to 30lb before the draft. 'I don't have a timetable on what we can get him down to or when that comes,' Bowles said. 'He's from Armwood, he went to Florida, so he's used to the heat. That's not a big factor in it. We've just got to see what happens.' The 6ft 6in defensive tackle has been working with a team nutritionist and the team hasn't said what would be an ideal playing weight for him.

Blue Jays parlay fifth-inning outburst into second win over Tigers
July 26 - Bo Bichette had a two-run double during a four-run fifth as the American League East-leading Toronto Blue Jays downed the slumping Detroit Tigers, 6-2, on Friday night. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. supplied two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI for the Blue Jays, who have won seven of eight games since the All-Star break. George Springer had three hits and scored a run, while Addison Barger and Alejandro Kirk drove in the other Toronto runs. Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios (7-4) gave up two runs and five hits with six strikeouts in six innings. A trio of relievers pitched a perfect inning apiece for Toronto, which has taken the first two games of the four-game series. Spencer Torkelson homered for the second time in as many days for the Tigers, who have lost five straight and 11 of their last 12. Dillon Dingler drove in the other Tigers run. Detroit starter Keider Montero (4-3) was charged with six runs (five earned) and nine hits in four-plus innings. The Tigers took the lead in the second. Wenceel Perez slapped a single, stole second and scored on Dingler's one-out double. Dingler was stranded at second as Parker Meadows popped out and Javier Baez struck out. Guerrero led off the top of the fourth with a double and scored on Barger's one-out double to center. With two outs, Barger scored when shortstop Baez made a throwing error on a Joey Loperfido grounder. The Blue Jays extended their lead to 6-1 in the fifth. Nathan Lukes led off with a single and moved to third on Springer's single. Guerrero's second double of the contest brought home Lukes. Bichette's double to right knocked in both Springer and Guerrero. That ended Montero's night. The Blue Jays continued to score with Tyler Holton on the mound. Kirk brought home Bichette with a single. Torkelson made it 6-2 with one out in the sixth when he lifted a Berrios sinker over the left-center field wall for his 23rd homer. --Field Level Media
