Sotheby's are set to auction off Diego Maradona's match-worn 1986 World Cup semi-final shirt - which has an estimated value of between £620,000 ($800,000) and £926,000 ($1.2million). Maradona scored twice during the semi-final, helping Argentina beat Belgium 2-0 at Estadio Azteca, before leading his side to victory in the final of the tournament against West Germany. After Argentina's semi-final victory against Belgium, the former Barcelona and Napoli star would swap his shirt with Belgium goalkeeper Jean-Marie Pfaff's gloves. Maradona, who passed away in 2020, had also signed the shirt, writing: 'For the great Jean-Marie, with all my love.'
