This is the match ball used during the 1966 World Cup final, as England beat West Germany 4-2.

Geoff Hurst famously scored a hat trick for England, but the ball was claimed by Helmut Haller and only returned to England in 1996.

It was signed by TV psychic Uri Geller in order to bring good luck and channel 'positive energy' towards the England team ahead of Euro 96.
