Hand of God by Diego Maradona
Azteca Stadium, Mexico, World Cup quarter-final. We play the 51st minute of the match between Argentina and England, when, on a hazardous clearance, Diego Maradona soars into the air and throws the ball with his hand over Shilton, the British goalkeeper. The English, Shilton in the lead, protest, but the Tunisian referee, Ali Bennaceur, grants the goal, convinced that Maradona took the ball with his head. This action will be baptized "The hand of God" by the Argentinian himself and has since passed on to posterity.
Diego Maradona tried to form a union of professional footballers for years. The idea goes hand in hand with his decision to get faces of Leftwing leaders Che Guevara and Castro tattooed on his body.

Close to Cuba and its Leader Maximo Fidel Castro, Maradona was an ardent supporter of Chavez's radical plans to redistribute income and education to the underprivileged.
During his Vatican visit in 2000, Maradona asked Pope John Paul II why the Vatican is holding on to its gold ceilings instead of selling them if they wish to help the poor.
Diego Maradona was the son of Diego Chitoro Maradona and Dalma Salvadora Franco and came from a modest family of peasants.
