Not a bad price, TBF. That shirt could do a better job than Janssen did, and he cost twice as much.

With Argentina's Under-20s in action, the country's FA president Claudio Tapia was in town to unveil the new Maradona tribute.
Tapia beamed as he posed for photos next to the work, designed by Spanish artist Rafa Ferri.
But fans have been quick to slate the artwork online, likening it from Sylvester Stallone to Bruce Lee.
One social media user wrote: "Have respect for Diego!"
While a second joked: "Oops Diego melted."
A third tweeted: "Hahahaha what is that."
And another questioned: "Nobody saw that lack of respect before presenting it?"
The statue drew comparisons with other botched works from down the years.
Madeira Airport infamously unveiled an awful statue of Cristiano Ronaldo back in 2017.
While a previous attempt at Maradona in Kolkata drew comparisons with Susan Boyle.
Manchester City erected a statue of Sergio Aguero outside Etihad Stadium at the end of the last season - only for Toni Kroos to mockingly point out that it looks more like him.

One thing I found strange in relation to Maradona recently was a picture of the Hand of God incident signed by Peter Shilton. It was in one of those signed memorabilia shops and I found it hard to believe that Shilton would sign anything in relation to the HoG since he was the player Maradona directly cheated and has been one of the most vocal in his condemnation of the incident.
I've read Maradona's autobiography and he refers to Shilton as a "thermos head" so not a lot of mutual respect there.

So the ref that officiated the 'hand of god' game snaffled the match ball after the game and is now set to bag at least £3m when it goes to auction........
Cunt was responsible for one of the most heinous decisions of all time; yet now becomes a millionaire off the back of it.....?
Man, life fucking stinks sometimes.........

Lived down the road in Dulwich when she married Guy Ritchie.I’ve never been much of a fan. I recall “Like a Prayer” being ok, and then the Sex Book stage was alright, but since then… Nothing. Don’t know what all the fuss is about
Couldn't even get a game for Dulwich Hamlets...
Well overrated...
It's never mentioned how he dribbled through half the team before his 1st goal.
If they could have actually tackled him he would never have got to use the hand of god for that goal.
It's mentioned everywhere but in England. Fun fact: In other countries, when everyone thinks of Maradona, they think of Napoli and that goal. The "hand of god" doesn't even get discussed anywhere.
Or if Peter Shilton didn’t get out jumped by a fucking midget.
And no one ever looks to Shilton and says, You're a goalkeeper who stands at 6ft 1, who allowed yourself to be outjumped by a player who was 5ft 4!!!!!!!
One of the worst pieces of goalkeeping you will ever see.
I re-watched this game in its entirety a few months/1 year or so ago when it was screened on the tele. Oh my Gosh! We were utterly shit to a man, and genuinely looked and played like a pub team. I don't get the dialogue that surrounds it, we were thoroughly outplayed by a superior team. Hodge ahahahahaaha
I read that the ball in the 'Hand of God' incident is being auctioned by the ref and is expected to get £3million for it. I hope he is going to give it to charity. The idea that he is going to profit by his gross incompetence makes me feel sick.
Not a chance sadly.
Steve Hodge got minted too.

I agree, the fact that he allowed Englands leg breaking challenges on Maradona everytime he got the ball was pretty disgusting.
And I guess the allowing the handball was pretty bad too.
Rewatching it, there were 5 england players surrounding him who didnt even bother to mark his run and were literally just staring at the ball.
Then to top it off, Steve Hodge literally flicked the ball to him where he was all by himself in the box and is able to out jump Shilton.
Half people involved in this passage of play are dead amazed people still arguing it...
