Maradona and the "Hand of God" goal

Sporting Witness

Available for over a year

To mark the death of legendary Argentine striker, Diego Maradona, we revisit the 1986 World Cup and two goals which he famously scored against England in the quarter-final. The first is now known as the “Hand of God” and the second as the “Goal of the Century”. England forward Gary Lineker watched both goals go in and in 2012 he shared his memories with Fred Dove. The programme is a Whistledown Production. PHOTO: The "Hand of God" goal (Allsport/Getty Images)
