Geoff Hursts 1966 shirt.

[AmexRuislip]

Geoff Hurst's 1966 World Cup winners shirt has failed to sell at Sothebys auctions today.
£500,000 was expected to be paid, but alas nothing.
Cannot not understand why the FA has not bought this historic football memorabilia, seeing they have all this cash lying around!

Half a million, is Geoff having a bubble?

I think he sold it years ago for £90k

What cash?
Its all gone to Sven, Schteeve, an Italian interpretor and a benign little man, who tilted his head wistfully to one side and rolled out platitudes of cliched football-speak that persuaded the unknowing into believing that he knew what he was doing.

Geoff wasn't the one selling it.

So right Mo Gosfield, but still I think that there is dosh about to purchase shirt for heritage purposes, obviously for a lesser amount

1.5 month's wages for Roy. I think they can probably stretch to that.

I have a glove worn by the reserve keeper at Hereford (Nicky Rust) - that has historical value (in Brighton), so I'd like to think it would get at least £4.50 in a high end auction house?

I bet theres thousands of shirts worn by the England WC team about ? Who knows which ones are real ?
