Argentina has begged Ex-England star Steve Hodge to give up a potential £5million windfall and sell them Maradona’s infamous ‘Hand of God’ shirt, rather than put it up for auction.
‘What I don’t like is that he never apologised. Never at any stage did he say he had cheated and that he would like to say sorry. Instead, he used his ‘Hand of God’ line.Bobby Robson’s side were left, instead, to rue the nature of painful exit which stung all the more given the nature of Maradona’s first goal, branded the ‘Hand of God’ after he outjumped England goalkeeper Peter Shilton and punched the ball into the net without the match officials noticing the offence.
A Sotheby’s technician adjusts a football shirt worn by Argentina’s Diego Maradona during the 1986 World Cup quarter-final match against England ‘He is selling something that belongs to Maradona and the AFA without authorisation,’ a member of the group, who are trying to convince Hodge to back out of the auction process, told‘It should be in Argentina in order all Argentines can enjoy it — and not for a millionaire to display it in his closet.’
