The jersey that Argentina football legend Diego Maradona wore when scoring twice against England in the 1986 Soccer World Cup, including the infamous “Hand of God” goal, was auctioned for $9.3 million (R147 million), a record for any item of sports memorabilia, Sotheby’s said on Wednesday.
Seven bidders vied for the garment in an auction that began April 20 and ended on Wednesday, Sotheby’s confirmed.
