A ball associated with Diego Maradona's infamous 'Hand of God' goal, scored against England in the 1986 FIFA World Cup quarter-final, has sold at auction for £2.5 million. The goal was controversial as Maradona used his hand to punch the ball into the net, though it was not spotted by the referee at the time. The sale price makes it one of the most valuable pieces of football memorabilia ever sold.
