Hand (of God) it back! Argentina sends delegation to UK to demand the return of Maradona’s World Cup 1986 shirt – on the day it is due to sell for £5m at auction

Diego Maradona's 1986 World Cup match-shirt is going on sale for the first time.

Garment had been put on sale by Sotheby's for an online auction until May 4.

But Argentinian delegation is said to have swooped in for a last-minute bid.

Maradona scored his infamous 'Hand of God' goal against England in the 1986 World Cup

 

Maradona's status as a superstar was cemented in that quarter-final in 1986.

Argentina won the game 2-1, with their diminutive talisman deceiving the referee by using his hand to score what appeared to the official to be a header.

Hodge was involved in the incident, passing the ball back to the goalkeeper before Maradona used his cunning to leap and reach the ball with his hand.

Afterwards the player famously said it was scored 'a little with the head of Maradona, and a little with the hand of God'.

Cheating little drug addled scrot !!! The referee (and linesman) should be castrated! (not that I get passionate about football)

I would be stunned if it went for 5m - 'I predict a 'withdrawn from sale' however I guess governments aren't bidding with their own money.
