Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' Jersey Sells for Record $9.28M at Auction

It was almost a perfect $10 million for arguably the most famous No. 10 jersey in soccer history.

Tom Hamilton of ESPN reported the jersey Argentina star Diego Maradona was wearing when he led his side to a dramatic 2-1 victory over England in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals sold for $9.28 million at an auction at Sotheby's in London on Wednesday.

Maradona scored both of Argentina's goals in the win, although the first one was not without significant controversy.

He punched the ball into the goal, but the referee did not rule it a handball.
