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.
