All fans of good games have seen, at least once, the image of Diego Armando Maradona scored a goal with his hand against England at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. The Argentine genius was able to insert the ball into the English goal with a gentle pat, mimicking a header that did not occur. In that same match, ‘el Diego’ crossed the entire field, defeating the entire English defense, until scoring the most memorable goal in history.
