Pele's final international was dressed in a Brazil football shirt that is expected to fetch up to £30,000 at auction.

According to Hansons Auctioneers, it was one of two number 10 jerseys created for Brazil's 1971 match versus Yugoslavia.

Hansons stated that a short-sleeved shirt was also created alongside the long-sleeved one, with the latter being worn during the game.

It was further stated that following the game, Pele donated the unused one to masseuse Abilio Jose de Silva, also known as Nocaute Jack, who worked with the squad from the late 1960s through 1994, a year in which Brazil won the World Cup.

The shirt will be offered for sale on February 15 at the company's saleroom in Derbyshire, along with a letter of authenticity from the masseur's daughter.

Over the course of a 21-year career, Pele is credited with scoring a world-record 1,281 goals in 1,363 games, including 77 goals in 92 international matches.
