A shirt worn by Roger Hunt during England’s 1966 World Cup campaign is set to be auctioned with an estimated value of up to £8,000. The footballer donned the jersey in a group stage match against France on July 20, 1966, where he scored both goals in England’s 2-0 victory.
Hunt was a key member of the England squad that triumphed in the tournament, culminating in a 4-2 win over West Germany in the final at Wembley Stadium. He featured in every match throughout the competition and recorded a total of three goals.
The shirt, notable for its rolled-up sleeves as worn by Hunt during the match, represents a significant piece of football history from England’s sole World Cup victory to date. The upcoming auction will provide collectors and fans the opportunity to acquire a tangible connection to the iconic tournament and one of its standout players.
