England star Terry Butcher poses with Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ ball which could fetch more than £3million at auction

EX-England star Terry Butcher poses with Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” ball — as speculation grows it will fetch more than its £3million estimate at auction.

The defender played in the 1986 World Cup defeat to Argentina in which Maradona scored twice — the first with a punch.

The ball will be sold in two weeks, with auctioneer Graham Budd saying: “All the best prices I’ve ever had at auction have made multiples of the estimate.

“When you have an exceptional item, you get multiple bidding.

“Sometimes it takes a long while for the last person to pull out.

“Almost anything’s possible at auction which is why it’s so exciting.

“It’s an absolutely exceptional piece.”

We told earlier how Tunisian ref Ali Bin Nasser was selling the ball.

Maradona died aged 60 in 2020.
