Forever remembered for The Hand of God scenario in Mexico 1970

50 years on and still never forgiven for the blatant cheating

Still, what a marvellous footballer

Cardiac arrest aged 60

RIP

He was one of the greats of his time until the infamous Hand of God episode..

Unfortunately looks like it was alcohol related as well, such a sad loss...

Yes he liked his alcohol

He was always a little stumpy but he piled the weight on with his love of burgers and alcohol

A great footballer, forever remembered by us Brits, for the infamous Hand of God episode.

60 is no age nowadays though.

I always remember that match for one of the great goals of any World cup. Enjoy this with the even more legendary South American commentary from the same game:

Unfortunately the brilliance of that goal was completely overshadw by that 'hand' for the first goal.

We even fought a war over it.....wink
