ONE of Bobby Charlton’s 1966 World Cup shirts is set to net £100,000.
The sale will come just weeks after Sir Bobby’s death at the age of 86.
He wore the long-sleeved white jersey in England’s 2-1 semi-final win over Portugal, scoring both goals.
Four days later Sir Bobby lifted the Jules Rimet trophy at Wembley after England beat West Germany 4-2.
The signed shirt goes up for sale with a starting price of £30,000 in Etwall, Derbys, on November 14.
But Charles Hanson, of Hansons Auctioneers, says it could smash his estimate of £50,000 to £80,000.

He said: “It’s an ever-present reminder of what Sir Bobby did for his country.
“I hope it’s bought by the National Football Museum or, perhaps, Manchester United.”
Sir Bobby signed the No9 top and donated it to a charity auction.
It was bought by a West Midlands pools-winner in the early 1990s.
