On June 22, 1986, in Mexico City, with nearly 115,000 fans in attendance, Argentina and England squared off in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. At the 6-minute mark of the second-half, English midfielder Steve Hodge’s clearing attempt inadvertently sent the ball towards England’s goal where Argentinian superstar Diego Maradona was standing – alone inside the box! As the ball dropped in, Maradona and England’s goalkeeper, Peter Shilton both jumped into the air. Maradona’s hand, which was raised close to his head, managed to the touch the ball first and the ball skipped into England’s goal. The referees did not have a clear view of the infraction and despite England’s heated objections – the goal would stand. The goal is considered one of the most famous, in all of soccer. Following the game, when Maradona was asked whether it was scored legally, he replied, “a little with the head of Maradona, and a little with the hand of God”. Following the game, Maradona swapped shirts with Steve Hodge. On May 4, 2022, Hodge sold that shirt at auction for £7,100,000 – a world record for a piece of sports memorabilia!
