The fuss about the Maradona “Hand of God” shirt… 21:26 - Apr 7 with 1641 viewsITFC_Forever

… people seem to be forgetting it’s also the same shirt he was wearing when he took on half the England team to score. Two points to that…. 1) why didn’t someone bring him down? 2) I’m not convinced Terry Butcher didn’t get the final touch…

He didn't beat half the team, Peter Reid for one was very ill and the rest of the team were pedestrian due to the heat. I think Butcher has said he did try to bring him down.

Most overrated goal ever.

I've been telling people for years the second was a Terry Butcher own goal.

Nah, the most overrated goal was the one Ryan Giggs scored for Man U against Arsenal. The one where he took his shirt off revealing his ape chest - Seaman for some strange reason decided to fall over backwards.

I agree

It's as plain as day.

Maradonna though was easily the best player in the world ever - and I would have loved to have had a night out with him.

It’s an iconic shirt. It represents probably one of the most famous footballing incidents ever by one of the world’s greatest players.

Nope, it’s Wayne Rooney’s over-head kick against Man City. He shinned it and got lucky.

It’s still one of the most iconic World Cup goals. Look at the state of the pitch?! The ball was bobbling about, yet Maradona still kept it tied to his laces with ease. You might not like him, but he was a wonderful footballer and this goal was one of many terrific ones he scored in Mexico ‘86, ignoring the hand of God! Maradona has at the height of his powers in that tournament, top players make things look easy and he most certainly was the best in the world at that time.

Nah Maradona definitely put it in. He toe pokes it in past Shilton. Butcher's left foot never made contact.

Never really warmed to Maradona. Partly I suppose , due to how the media portrayed him. Let's not forget , (how could we?) The Falklands were fresh in the mind throughout the 80's and beyond.. And I despised him for the "Hand of God" goal.... But from a purely footballing point of view. You have to say, he was on another level.. I mean, he absolutely ran games... Up there with Messi and C. Ronaldo, imo.. For some of the best players that have played, in my lifetime... He was a lot of things, Diego Maradona.. Footballing genius, being amongst them. Imo...

There was a blatant foul on the halfway line before the goal. Var would haev chalked it off these days. And would have served the drug addled, arrogant cheating little c-unit right.
