For Your Info:
  1. The match-winner’s full description of his controversial first goal was: "A little of the hand of God and a little of the head of Maradona.”
  2. Gary Lineker's goal against Argentina was his sixth at Mexico 86 and won him the Golden Boot. A move from Everton to Barcelona followed.
  3. Diego Maradona got only one goal in the four games leading up to the 1986 quarter-final. He scored two more in the semis against Belgium.
  4. Argentina won their second FIFA World Cup in 1986 and knocked England out again in 1998 on penalties. England beat Argentina 1-0 in 2002.
  5. The 1986 win was third time lucky for Argentina after England had won the team's two previous FIFA World Cup™ encounters in 1962 and 1966.
