Alan Ball's red England No.7 spare jersey from the 1966 World Cup final,
long-sleeved, three-lions badge; sold with a signed letter of provenance (2)

Provenance:
This jersey was sold at Christie's Glasgow on 20th June 1998 as lot 132. It is offered with the signed letter of provenance from the vendor at that time confirming the provenance account printed in the Catalogue to be true. The Christie's catalogue stated 'the shirt was given to the vendor by his aunt's boyfriend the day after the World Cup final took place on 30th July 1966. According to the vendor, his aunt's boyfriend was Sid Brown who, it is believed, was the coach driver for the England party between the Hendon Hall Hotel and Wembley Stadium during the 1966 finals.' At the time of the 1998 auction Christie's were unable to confirm if this was Alan Ball's match-worn jersey or his spare issue. Research in subsequent years has established that Alan Ball swapped his match-worn jersey with his England team-mate Nobby Stiles. It can therefore be concluded that the jersey being offered here is Alan Ball's unworn 1966 World Cup spare.

One of the most iconic sporting images is that of Bobby Moore and Pele exchanging shirts at the end of the game.

The shirt was gained as a swap after the match by England trainer Les Cocker. Letter of provenance is supplied by a member of the Cocker family.

Roberto Rivelino is often named in the top five Brazilian players of all time. He was particularly famous for his thunderous left-foot shot, outrageous long range free kicks and exquisite passing skills. He also invented the football move known as the 'Elastico' or 'Flip Flap,' a move designed to wrong step the defender.

He played in a staggering 122 games for Brazil scoring 43 goals. He scored three goals at Mexico '70 including a trademark 'Patada Atomica' free-kick against the Czechs. Rivelino also played in the 1974 & 1978 World Cups. He is also attributed as scoring the fastest ever goal in history, direct from the kick-off when he noticed the goalkeeper was still on his knees completing his pre-match prayers as the referee blew his whistle.
£5500-7500

The above match was Brazil's final Group B match which, through the format at that year's tournament, meant that it was effectively a semi-final game. Brazil beat Poland 3-1 meaning that Argentina had to beat Peru by four clear goals to progress to the final. In a controversial game, Argentina won 6-0 in what some saw as a suspicious degree of ease.

Jose Oscar Bernardi was capped 60 times for Brazil and travelled to the three World Cups between 1978 and 1986.

Jimbo   |2008-11-09 Some of these are a bit special. The 1950 FA Cup Final shirt is one of my all-time favourites. The #19 England shirt is a bit strange; there were only 18 in the WYC squads in 1993. Reply | Quote 0   0
