Diego Maradona 'The hand of God'




Call it a robbery or call it geniality, but you can't deny it's maybe the most famous goal ever. Argentina captain in 1986 World Cup Diego Maradona scored on England with his hand Argentina's first goal in the game. 

After the game Maradona stated about the goal "a little with the head of Maradona, and a little with the hand of God" and described it as a revenge for the UK victory over Argentina in the Falklands War.

Ashley Cole joins England's 100 Club

Ashley Cole may not have always been the most popular figure outside of Stamford Bridge, but the left-back will join an elite group of England players on Wednesday.

The defender will join England's 100 Club at Wembley Stadium against Brazil, joining such decorated stars as Steven Gerrard, David Beckham, Sir Bobby Charlton and Bobby Moore.

Somewhat controversial off the pitch but rarely anything other than reliable on it, England might actually allow itself to celebrate Cole on Wednesday evening.
