AMAZING! Diego Maradona’s Hand Of God Ball To Be Sold For N1.4Billion
The ball used by Diego Maradona to score two of the most famous goals in football history is to go on auction.
The match ball used in the famous 1986 World Cup quarter final between England and Argentina carries an estimated price of £2.5m to £3m.
It is being sold by Ali Bin Nasser, the Tunisian referee who allowed Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ goal during the game.
The ball was used for the full 90 minutes of the match, which remains one of the most defining and controversial contests in World Cup history.
Maradona scored the opener by punching the ball past England goalkeeper Peter Shilton.
Bin Nasser did not spot the handball and allowed the goal to stand, with the player later describing it as being “a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God”.
Argentina went on to win the match 2-1 and eventually win the World Cup in Mexico.
