The Lisbon Lion died in 2021 aged 83 after being diagnosed with dementia and a portion of the proceeds will go to the charity set up in his name, the Bertie Auld Legacy.
The football shirt “Lisbon Lion” Bertie Auld swapped during Celtic’s historic European Cup win in 1967 is among jerseys being auctioned by his family in a sale expected to fetch around £100,000.
Picchi was a legend of the game in Italy and experts at McTear’s auction house in Glasgow estimate the Inter Milan shirt could sell for between £20,000 and £30,000. Auld’s son Robert Auld said: “Dad was quite humble about his achievements and didn’t talk too much about the games, but then again, he didn’t need to.
He said his father would be pleased with the work the Bertie Auld Legacy is doing, including raising money for Kilbryde Hospice in East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, and Football Memories – a project to help people with dementia using footballing images to improve recall. As well as the European jerseys and Auld’s Scotland shirts, the collection also includes a match-worn Kenny Dalglish Scotland jersey, one of Auld’s Hibs jerseys and a pair of his match-worn Celtic shorts, complete with his signature No 10 on the leg.
