Aye, he was certainly no angel but he was probably the most famous Argentinian since Ernesto.

I had a vague recollection that an Oi band wrote a rather scathing song about the man. Just found it on youtube.
Not posting the link but if you want to hear it google The Business Maradona.

Watched the 'Diego Maradona'film from last year last night.
Just goes to prove that fame and money are a dead end.
Shame on the Italians for what they did to the wee man.
He was no angel but famous rock stars and politicians get away with a lot, lot more.
I felt really sad at the end for him.
😢

...interesting, in that link in the interview Maradona did with Gary Lineker he candidly admits the truth about the 'Hand Of God' ...it's really not cheating"  |

Nice little earner for Steve Hodge Hodge swapped shirts with the legendary Maradona after the 1986 World Cup quarter-final clash between England and Argentina in Mexico, and has owned it ever since, although the item has spent the last 20 years on loan at the National Football Museum in Manchester. Maradona – one of the greatest footballers of all time, who died in November 2020 at the age of 60 – famously scored two unforgettable goals in the match, including one assisted by the "Hand of God", as England were knocked out of the tournament.
Hodge let the shirt go under the hammer in a specialist auction, but the Forest hero was reported to have been subject to a dramatic plea from the Argentinian FA begging him not to sell the historic shirt. It is not known whether the Argentine delegation that travelled to England with hope of taking it back to the Maradona museum in Buenos Aires have been successful. |
