The ball involved in Diego Maradona's infamous 'Hand of God' goal has hit the auction, with bids starting at $600,000.
In one of the most iconic moments in FIFA World Cup history, Maradona flicked the ball with his hand past England goalkeeper Peter Shilton in the 1986 World Cup quarter-finals.
The iconic adidas ball was previously owned by the match referee, Ali Bin Nasser, who has had it since the game was played in June 22, 1986, but it has now hit the auction block with Goldin with huge bids expected to be made for the - now deflated - prized piece of memorabilia.
