The first England cap won by 1966 England and West Ham legend Sir Geoff Hurst was snapped up for £5,000 by a mystery bidder at Graham Budd Auctions.
The West Ham striker was a key part of England’s winning side, alongside Barking-born captain Sir Bobby Moore and midfielder Martin Peters, who grew up in Dagenham.
Hurst, now 74, originally sold the cap for £3,290 at Christie’s on September 28th, 2000.
The striker was 24 when he was awarded the cap for his debut against West Germany at Wembley on February 22nd, 1966 – five months before scoring three against the same opponents to win the Jules Rimet trophy.
