Gary Lineker reacts to teammate selling Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' shirt for over £7m

Gary Lineker has reacted after former England team-mate Steve Hodge sold Diego Maradona 's infamous 'Hand of God' shirt for over £7million at auction.

Maradona wore the bright blue strip as he scored a brace to help Argentina squeeze past the Three Lions in the 1986 World Cup quarter-final. The South American nation went on to win the tournament with a 3-2 win over West Germany in the final in Mexico.

His first goal caused all kind of controversy when he rose and prodded the ball beyond Peter Shilton with his fist to put his country ahead. Maradona later said the goal was made "a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God".
