There is another story of Football shirt which worth £1m. If you are a football fan, then you must know who Sir Geoff Hurst is. He was the man who scored hat-trick goals in the World Cup of 1966 when England won the Cup.

Andrew Leslau, 51, is a businessman and property investor. He bought the shirt for £1m from a collector. Goeff scored the amazing hat-trick on 30 July 1966 by wearing this shirt. Now the shirt is going to display in the World Cup qualifying match of England in Wembley.

Along with Geoff Hurst’s shirt, he bought some other shirts of famous football players like England’s Roger Hunt, West Germans Wolfgang Weber and Lothar Emmerich.

After acquaring the shirt, Andrew Leslau, who is the new owner of this honorable shirt, as:

“This is the most important shirt in English football history - not just the most valuable and most expensive in the world. We know how much all the other shirts have sold for and the one prior to that was Pele’s from the 1970 World Cup final, which was £157,000. Geoff Hurst’s shirt is worth more than that. I will be proud to bring it back to Wembley. The stadium might have changed but the shirt is the ultimate reminder of the England team’s most glorious day. It should not be hidden away in a bank vault somewhere. We do think it is as valuable as a Damien Hirst but nonetheless we want it seen by football fans in an appropriate and fitting home.”
