'Hand of God' shirt
Following Maradona’s death in November 2020, Hodge was subjected to numerous requests from people wishing to buy the shirt he had swapped with Maradona at the end of the World Cup quarter-final in 1986. Hodge said, "It’s not for sale. I am not trying to sell it." However, Hodge felt that it was the right time to sell the shirt through the reputable international auction house Sotheby's in April 2022.
After the shirt sale was announced Maradona’s daughter Dalma and ex-wife Claudia made claims that the shirt wasn’t the same shirt that Maradona scored both goals in.
However this was later disproved by Sotheby’s after working with Photo Resolution imagery to determine the authenticity of the shirt and also referring to Maradona's autobiography in which he states that he gave the shirt to Hodge in the tunnel after the game prior to returning to the changing room. In May 2022, the shirt sold for £7.1m, a record for a shirt worn during a sporting event.
