BBC World Service - Sporting Witness, Maradona and the "Hand of God" goal

Ex-England striker Gary Lineker on Maradona's legendary World Cup quarter-final in 1986

Ex-England striker Gary Lineker on Maradona's legendary performance in the World Cup quarter-final in 1986.

To mark the death of legendary Argentine striker, Diego Maradona, we revisit the 1986 World Cup and two goals which he famously scored against England in the quarter-final. The first is now known as the “Hand of God” and the second as the “Goal of the Century”. England forward Gary Lineker watched both goals go in and in 2012 he shared his memories with Fred Dove. The programme is a Whistledown Production.
