Diego Maradona’s Hand of God shirt: Peter Shilton says he would have ripped it up

Peter Shilton says he would have ripped up Diego Maradona’s famous ‘Hand of God’ shirt that was sold for £7.1 million this week.

Shilton, 72, was the goalkeeper Maradona out-jumped during the 1986 World Cup quarter-final classic between England and Argentina in Mexico.

Despite their significant height difference, 5ft 5in Maradona managed to rise higher than 6ft Shilton before punching the ball into the net with his fist.

None of the match officials spotted the handball and the goal, arguably the most controversial in football history, was allowed to stand.

Four minutes later, Maradona scored one of the greatest goals of all time, dribbling past a host of England players, including Shilton, before sticking the ball in the net. It was voted as FIFA’s Goal of the Century in 2002.

On this day 35 years ago, Diego Maradona gave us two of the most iconic goals of all time, "The Hand of God" and the "Goal of the Century"
