The shirt worn by Coventry City legend Trevor Peake during the club’s famous 1987 FA Cup Final victory over Tottenham Hotspur is set to go under the hammer this week.
The historic Sky Blue shirt will be offered for sale by Hansons Auctioneers on Thursday 12 November, giving supporters the chance to own a piece of Coventry City history. Peake was part of the Coventry side that defeated Spurs 3-2 after extra time at Wembley to lift the FA Cup for the first and only time in the club’s history.
The auction listing shows that the bidding is set to start at £1,800.
Hansons Auctioneers owner Charles Hanson believes the shirt could attract considerable interest from Coventry supporters around the world.
‘This was probably the most remarkable and entertaining FA Cup Final of the 1980s,’ he said. ‘Back then, football really was football!
‘Coventry City made history that day, winning the FA Cup for the first and only time. It was arguably the greatest 90 minutes the club has ever played, and this shirt takes us right back to that extraordinary occasion.
‘Now Coventry are back in the Premier League, we hope this Sky Blue shirt will have no ceiling and reach for the skies as Coventry supporters from around the world compete to own what is an epic and iconic piece of the club's history.
‘For one lucky fan, this really could be the golden ticket!’
The shirt will feature in Hansons Auctioneers’ November Sporting Sale on Thursday 12 November 2026. The auction will take place at the company’s Derbyshire saleroom on Heage Lane, Etwall, with both online and in-room bidding available.
