Maradona and the "Hand of God" goal

Ex-England striker Gary Lineker on Maradona's legendary performance in the World Cup quarter-final in 1986.

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 鈥淗and of God鈥 and the second as the 鈥淕oal of the Century鈥. 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.
