England hat-trick hero Geoff Hurst joins bid to recover Bobby Moore's 1966 World Cup final shirt

This article discusses the ongoing efforts by Tina Moore, wife of late World Cup winner Bobby Moore, to recover the iconic red jersey he wore during England's 1966 World Cup victory. The shirt, which was last seen in the attic of their former home in Essex, resurfaced in 2021 when it was discovered in the possession of a private buyer who had acquired it through a mysterious auction. Tina has since filed a legal claim at the High Court, alleging that Neville Evans, a Welsh businessman and sports memorabilia dealer, may possess the shirt. While Evans has denied current possession and refuses to comment directly, his lack of response has raised suspicions. Sir Geoff Hurst, the last surviving member of the 1966 World Cup-winning team, has publicly supported the effort to return the shirt to the Moore family, emphasizing its sentimental value. The case remains unresolved, with the Moore family seeking assistance from anyone with information.

'Give us Bobby Moore's 1966 shirt back': World Cup hero's family launch High Court bid to recover iconic red No6 jersey from football memorabilia tycoon

Bobby Moore's family has initiated a legal battle in the High Court to reclaim his iconic 1966 World Cup final shirt, which went missing decades ago from their home in Essex. The red No6 jersey, considered one of the most valuable sports artifacts in British history, was reportedly given to Tina Moore, Bobby's ex-wife, during their divorce in 1986. She now claims that Neville Evans, a Welsh football memorabilia dealer, either possesses the shirt or knows its whereabouts. Evans denies having the shirt, but the family insists he must be involved. The case has gained renewed attention as England prepares for the World Cup, with current star Harry Kane carrying the hopes of the nation. The shirt is estimated to be worth over £1 million.
