The jersey worn by Diego Maradona when he scored twice against England in the 1986 World Cup, including the infamous ‘Hand of God' goal, is to be auctioned off later this month, Sotheby's announced on Wednesday.

The blue No.10 shirt has been owned since the end of the controversial World Cup encounter by opposing midfielder Steve Hodge, who swapped his jersey with Maradona after England lost 1-2.
