Top 10 most iconic images in the history of sports

Diego Maradona

Is there anyone who has not seen this image before?

Diego Maradona was known for his iconic “Hand of God” goal as much as he was for his extraordinary skills on the football field. This happened in the 1986 World Cup Quarterfinal against England. The match was already being played on the background of the Falklands War and emotions were running high.

In perhaps the most controversial goal ever scored on the football field, Diego Maradona seemed to have used his hand instead of his head to push the ball into the net, scoring the goal that Argentina needed.

When asked at that time, Maradona had this to say – “a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God.”, thus giving the infamous goal its name.
