Agent Maradona recalled.

[Seevio]

No matter how many times i look at it,to me it looks like the England defender (can't remember who it was) slides the ball into the net,not Maradona.

Watch the video you posted. No.6 - Terry Butcher.

Damn! I thought you were going to show me a vid' from a different angle,that'd finally convince me it was Maradona that kicked that ball into the net! 🧐

Hopefully name a street in Glasgow after him.

Well, there's already one in London.

First class cheat and brilliant footballer. RIP

I'm not defending the ref, I'm bewildered as to why Maradona's been eviscerated for all those years for an instinctive reaction when the ref made a boo-boo.

It's a fair cop; you've seen through my shallow deception.

I'm not mad at Maradonna; I'm not mad at the ref; this is all camouflage for my real problem:

Why the hell didn't Shilts do a Schuey??? that would have solved the WHOLE problem:

Nope,no matter hard how i try to see Maradona kick that ball,i still see the defender kicking it!

I've always thought the same - but I don't recall anyone on the scene mentioning it. What you need to remember is that D was absurdly one-footed, so he would have flicked his left-boot at the ball there when any sane player would have used their right.

The goal is the source of some amusement on my patch because Maradona mugged two Sunderland managers - Peter Reid and Terry Butcher.

I never thought it was that spectacular, having seen a handful of individual goals over the years which were just as good.

The footballer we all love to hate...

Too old, too slow, too dumb, that's why.

Chris Woods would have cleaned him out. Or at least reached the ball first.

Gary Bailey would have stayed on his line

I can't get upset about a World-class cheat....

I thought like that immediately after '86. Given passage of time, I'm more of the view the refs should have spotted it, and he was the greatest of his generation, you have to respect that. RIP a flawed and tortured genius.

Funny how in that game he seems so reluctant to use his fists ...
[EDIT - but kick anything that comes near him]
