Just four minutes later he dribbled from his own half to score a sublime second that regularly tops polls as the greatest goal in World Cup history.
England midfielder Steve Hodge got Maradona’s jersey after the game and announced on Wednesday he was putting it up for auction after 19 years on display at England’s National Football Museum.
But Maradona’s ex-wife Claudia Villafane stated it was “the word of that ex-player against ours” and said Hodge did not need to sell the historic garment. The company also said the shirt had been in the National Football Museum for nearly two decades and there had never been a claim that it was not the one Maradona wore while scoring the goals.
