    Ex-wife Tina believed it was safe in the attic of the home she shared with the Three Lions skipper in Chigwell, Essex.
    She was stunned when it seemingly resurfaced in the hands of an anonymous private buyer who was putting it up for sale.
    Now an expert says it might have been a spare — which would send its value plunging from around £10million to £10,000.
    The collector, who does not want to be named, told The Sun: “The Bobby Moore 1966 shirt is the Holy Grail.
    READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS
    “The mystery shirt’s badge differs slightly to close-up pictures I analysed of Bobby’s shirt.
    “From an enlarged photograph you can see that the white border at the top of the badge is clearly uneven, because the visible stitching is not straight.
    “In pictures released of the shirt up for auction, the white border at the top is even.
    “It’s a tiny detail but, in my opinion, very clear and very definitive.
    Most read in Football
    “And in my opinion the shirt being auctioned is definitely not the shirt worn by Bobby in the ’66 final.
    “It is most likely another spare.”
    Tina, 79, and West Ham defender Bobby divorced in 1986 and Bobby remarried.
    He died in 1992.
    There is no suggestion of wrong­doing by the would-be seller, but the family want to know how they got the shirt.   More
