LONDON: The shirt the late Diego Maradona wore when the footballing great scored the ‘goal of the century’, as too his ‘Hand of God’ goal, for Argentina against England at the 1986 World Cup has sold for a record £7.1 million.

It is the highest price ever paid for a piece of sports memorabilia. Former England midfielder Steve Hodge put it up for auction 36 years after he swapped it with Maradona following the famous quarter final in Mexico.
