David Trezeguet’s shirt from French World Cup triumph is destroyed by customs officials
David Trezeguet's shirt from France's iconic World Cup final win over Brazil in 1998 has been destroyed by French customs officers who wrongly thought it was fake, a top collector said on Wednesday.
Oliver Demolis bought the shirt from a Brazilian over the internet and had agreed to pay £6,247, which he is now trying to claim back through the courts.
'It was a well-known seller and the jersey was official. It was the last piece in my collection,' he told newspaper Le Dauphine.
'When I went to get it they told me the shirt had been destroyed by customs because it was counterfeit. I went mad.'
Hosts France beat Brazil 3-0 in the final at the Stade de France, which was watched by Trezeguet, who was an unused substitute on that memorable summer's night in Paris.
