A FOOTIE shirt worn by England and Hammers legend Bobby Moore is set to sell for £18,000.
The long-sleeved West Ham top was sold to fan Colin Fitzgerald, 12, for 2s 6d (£1.25 today), by the club’s groundsman in the mid-1960s.
Brother Peter, 69 is selling to help his son buy a house.
Bobby won the World Cup in 1966. He died in 1993.
The online auction is with Stacey’s, of Rayleigh, Essex.
Expert Dave Davies said: “This is a gem of a find.”
“I expect it to go for well over £10,000 and this is the first time I have seen a genuine Bobby Moore West Ham shirt.
"But it could be much higher.
“The theories over the whereabouts of his disappeared England shirt make it all the more valuable to a generation of fans who think Bobby is perhaps the greatest defender ever.
“Other shirts worn by famous players like Eric Cantona, George Best and Gazza have gone for huge prices - so this could run into the tens of thousands.
“If there is more than once dedicated collector bidding for it, its value could soar.”
Dave Alexander, of Football Wanted – helping with the auction – said: “The authenticity of this shirt is second to none, and the price could go through the roof.”
