The 'Hand of God' goal!

Diego Maradona is known for being an awesome soccer player, he helped lead Argentina to victory in World Cup in 1986, but he is also known for scored a goal versus England, a goal that everybody would remember.
The relations between Argentina and England were strained because of the 'Falklands War' and with that goal, the relation came worst because Maradona used his hand to punch the ball into the net and the referee let the goal stand. Argentina won 2-1. That goal was an international football scandal.
When the people asked him about that, he replied: "The goal was scored a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of god"
