Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>A Brazil football shirt prepared for legendary player Pele ahead of his last international is estimated to sell for up to \u00a330,000 (Sh4.5m) at auction.<\/p>\n

It was one of two number 10 jerseys made for Brazil\u2019s game in 1971 against Yugoslavia, Hansons Auctioneers said.<\/p>\n

Pele did not wear it in the match and gave it to the team\u2019s masseur instead. The shirt was later purchased by a restaurant manager in Shropshire who said he hoped it would end up in a football museum.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old seller, who did not want to reveal his identity, said he bought it from a private collector in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been an amazing piece of football memorabilia to be custodian of. I now feel it deserves a bigger stage, perhaps back home in Brazil,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Pele died in December. He was the only player to win the World Cup three times, and was named Fifa\u2019s Player of the Century in 2000.<\/p>\n

The long-sleeved garment was prepared alongside a short-sleeved version, with the latter being worn in the game, Hansons said.<\/p>\n

It added that after the match, Pele gave the unworn one to masseur Abilio Jose de Silva, nicknamed Nocaute Jack, who worked with the national team from the late-1960s to 1994, a World Cup-winning year for Brazil.<\/p>\n

The shirt will be sold at the firm\u2019s Derbyshire saleroom on 15 February with a letter of authenticity from the masseur\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n

Pele is credited with scoring a world record 1,281 goals in 1,363 appearances during a 21-year career, including 77 goals in 92 matches for his country.<\/p>\n
