Diego Maradona has admitted his Argentina team-mates were left as sick to the stomach as England’s players after his ‘Hand of God’ goal at the 1986 World Cup. Davies spotted that Maradona's arm was raised on a replay, but there was still some doubt at that point as to what had actually happened.Maradona did a good job of selling it by wheeling away in celebration, though his quick glances at the officials were telling. "I didn't like it but I had to admire it. "You have to say that's magnificent," Davies exclaimed. Valdano did not give me the pass.
