not suitable for the weather. argentina went out to the world cup with heavy duty shirts. the heat was too much, so they went shopping for a lighter weight kit in the sport shops of mexico. the kit man and maradona famously saw the blue shirt and said, i like that one, we will beat england in that. they put the argentina badge on and had to make sure with some american football style glittery transfer numbers on the back. that is quite unusual. it is lot number 295 which is causing much excitement, the ball used in that 1980 6/4-final. much excitement, the ball used in that 1980 6/4 final. this isjust a replica, the real one is at an undisclosed location and its current estimate is 2.5 to £3 million. although it is a bit battered and no longer inflates, it is an iconic piece of sporting history. and represents a game and a player who will never be forgotten.
