Football fans will get the chance to take a look at some iconic memorabilia before it goes under the hammer in the summer.

Pele's 1958 World Cup winner's medal, awarded to him when he was 17, will be on display at Amber Galleries in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, alongside the shirt worn by goalkeeper Peter Shilton at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

Other items include Shilton's cap, recognising his appearances during the qualifying stage for that World Cup and the competition itself.

Legends Peter Reid, who also played for England during the 1986 World Cup, and Norman Whiteside, the youngest-ever World Cup player, are due to take part in a live Q&A session at the event on 8 May.

Whiteside played for Northern Ireland at the 1982 World Cup in Spain, appearing first against Yugoslavia as a 17-year-old.

Other items on show will include an unworn spare England shirt allocated to Martin Peters for the 1966 World Cup final against West Germany.

The event is being hosted by Budds auction house, with a second event due to be held in Stratford-upon-Avon on 15 May before the items are auctioned in May and June.
