       The 'Hand of God' goal

       This from BBC Football News:
       "The ball used by Diego Maradona to score two of the most famous
       goals in football history is to go on auction. The match ball
       used in the famous 1986 World Cup quarter final between England
       and Argentina carries an estimated price of £2.5m to £3m. It is
       being sold by Ali Bin Nasser, the Tunisian referee who allowed
       Maradona's 'Hand of God' goal during the game. Bin Nasser said:
       "This ball is part of football history - it is the right time to
       be sharing it with the world."
       The ball is apparently being sold as part of a World Cup event.
       I sincerely hope that Ali Bin Nasser is going to donate the
       proceeds to charity rather than lining his own pockets as a
       result of one of the worst and most defining of decisions in
       World Cup history. It is not made clear in the article and I'm
       sure there are many in England who still rankle at Bin Nasser's
       mistake. I for one am not amused!
