Newcastle United 1952 FA Cup-winning kit sells for £7,500

The football kit worn by the scorer of Newcastle United's 1952 FA Cup-winning goal has sold at auction for £7,500.

The black-and-white striped shirt and black shorts had been donned by Chilean striker George Robledo, who scored in the 84th minute as the Magpies beat Arsenal 1-0.

The kit he wore in the cup final a year earlier, when Newcastle beat Blackpool 2-0, sold for £5,000.

They were among 12 lots being sold by Robledo's daughter, Elizabeth.

Ms Robledo, who recently travelled to Tyneside from Chile to unveil a plaque dedicated to her father and his footballer brother Ted, had said she wanted the items to "go to a good home" as she had no-one to leave them to.
