Peter Shilton, the former England goalkeeper, reflects ahead of England’s return to Mexico’s Estadio Azteca on the 1986 World Cup match against Argentina and Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal. Citing the occasion and the passage of time, Shilton says he has “put the beef to bed,” addressing the long-running controversy surrounding his role in the moment. Shilton’s comments focus on his personal perspective on an incident that has remained one of the most discussed episodes in World Cup history, where Maradona appeared to score using his hand before later scoring again in the same match. Both reports frame Shilton’s remarks as a retrospective response rather than a new dispute, linking the statement to England’s impending game at the Azteca and the symbolism of returning to the venue connected with that 1986 encounter. The coverage emphasizes Shilton’s attempt to move past the controversy and acknowledges the event’s enduring prominence in football history.
