Sports Memorabilia: When balls and shoes are worth more than just silver and gold

As Tunisian referee Ali bin Nasser took control of the World Cup quarter-final pitting England and Argentina on the afternoon of June 22, 1986, little did he know the next 90 minutes would change the course of history forever.
