It was decided by a poll on the FIFA website [1], as part of the coverage of the 2002 World Cup tournament.The winning goal was the second goal by Diego Maradona in the 1986 World Cup quarter-final match, for Argentina against England on June 22, 1986, at the Azteca stadium, Mexico City; it came shortly after Maradona's infamous Hand of God goal. Nine minutes into the second half, Héctor Enrique passed the ball to Maradona some ten metres inside his own half. Maradona then began his 60 metre, 10 second dash towards the English goal, dodging five English outfield players ( Hoddle, Reid, Sansom, Butcher and Fenwick) as well as goalkeeper Peter Shilton to make the score 2-0 to Argentina. Gary Lineker scored a goal for England 25 minutes later, but England were unable to equalize and Argentina won 2-1. IMPORTANT: Pls note you need to have the Google Video Player installed on your computer to view the attachment.
