Anyone who has any football memorabilia they would like to bring along to the event can have the items valued by experts as well as discussing the possibility of putting them up for auction.
David Convery, Head of Sporting Memorabilia at Budds Auctions, said: “With the 2026 World Cup final a year away, we are delighted to announce our 2026 World Cup Sale.
“There is already a number of historical and significant items of football memorabilia already consigned for the landmark sale.
“The impact of Pele, Shilton, and other football greats have had was not only at the time, but by generations of footballers and fans that followed on an international scale.
“It is fantastic to have the opportunity to auction items such as Pele’s winners’ medal as the youngest World Cup goal scorer of all time, and Shilton’s match-worn shirt from the famous 1986 quarter-final - a match of both cultural and political significance.”
The roadshow will take place at the The Riverview Brasserie at the Stadium of Light on Thursday September 18 between 2pm and 8pm.
