The Soccer History of The World Cup Book
MARADONA leaps, Shilton comes out — and somehow the net ripples! England protest, arms raised, but the goal stands. Moments later, he takes the ball again, fifty-plus yards, five defenders left behind — what a goal! Argentina 2, England 1. Genius and controversy in the same breath.
