CHILL OUT 35 Years Since Maradona’s Goal Of The Century It was 35 years ago today that Diego Maradona taught England to play, and the date did not go unnoticed in Argentina, where his compatriots remembered his “goal of the century” with a nationwide celebration of cheers and applause. Maradona scored twice against England in a 2-1 win in the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup, the second of which was a solo goal often classed as the greatest goal ever scored.

The message on the reckless spectator’s banner read ‘allez opi omi’, which is a greeting to grandparents in French.
