Diego Armando Maradona to decedat at the age of 60 and left exceptional memories on the field, but also a huge void in the soul of football fans. El Pibe d’Oro’s benchmark match is still England’s, from the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, when he scored two goals in history in four minutes: “The hand of God” and “The emptiness of the century”.
Where is the shirt that Diego Armando Maradona wore in the game against England in 1986?
The jersey Maradona wore in that match is the “Holy Grail” of football. The “Atomic Barrel” did not come with him to the changing room of the mythical Azteca stadium. In the cabin tunnel, Diego Maradona gave his shirt to Englishman Steve Hodge. He remember: “It was a coincidence. He gave it to me in the tunnel after the game. I had my shirt in hand and walked into the locker room. There were a lot of people, the press, Robson scolding some players. Nobody told me anything, I put it in my bag and left”Said the former English international, now 58 years old, quoted by AS.
For 16 years, the valuable shirt remained in Hodge’s personal collection. In 2002, after an auction in which a Pelé jersey was sold for more than 100,000 euros, the former British midfielder tried to get hold of the souvenir he received from Maradona, but no company committed. Eventually, the jersey was donated to the National Museum of English Football.
Thanks to the donation of the former English footballer, all football fans can admire the most famous football shirt, in Manchester, at the headquarters of the English Football Museum. Hodge mentioned that it was delivered to him unwashed, just as he received it from Diego Armando Maradona.
