Jack Taylor World Cup medal and final shirt up for online sale | OneFootball

Prized memorabilia from legendary Wolverhampton referee Jack Taylor are being auctioned online, including his 1974 World Cup final shirt and the medal for officiating the match.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Bonhams' Sports Memorabilia sale closes on Wednesday, with the shirt guided at £4,000-£6,000 and the medal at £3,000-£5,000.

Taylor's 1971 European Cup final medal is also listed at an estimated £5,000-£7,000. Further lots include his 1966 FA Cup final medals, £1,500-£2,000, and a 1966 Charity Shield plaque, £1,000-£1,500.

In Munich in 1974, Taylor awarded the first penalty in a World Cup final after Uli Hoeness fouled Netherlands captain Johan Cruyff. Johan Neeskens scored, then Taylor gave West Germany a penalty when Wim Jansen tripped Bernd Holzenbein.

Paul Breitner equalised from the spot, before Gerd Muller's 43rd-minute strike won it for West Germany.

Three years earlier he refereed Ajax's 2-0 win over Panathinaikos at Wembley, the first of their three successive European Cups.

Taylor, who died at home in Shropshire in July 2012 aged 82, took charge of more than 1,000 matches, including over 100 internationals. He was inducted into the FIFA Hall of Fame.
