In terms for me, the best players ever have been two Argentinians and a Brazilian Pele, Maradona and now Messi.

Messi, for me, beats them all.

But Maradona was playing in this game and...

It was pretty awful first half for the most famous game in history.

But the second half kind of heated up a bit.

The ball lumped into the air and Diego went to head it, but in the end he punched it over our goalkeeper's head.

Now, I hate VAR when it's done to our game, but I could have done with it that day.

So he punched it in and there was obviously those...

huge ramifications for that.

And then just a few minutes later, he scored what I think is the greatest goal that's ever been scored in a football match.

I've seen a couple of similar ones.

Messi scored one very similar, but you have to take into account this was a quarterfinal of a World Cup in Mexico City in the Azteca with these two huge countries.

And Diego doing what he did was, it's the one time where I was on a pitch

And somebody did something on the opposite side where I felt I ought to applaud.

I didn't because that would not have gone down very well at home.

And then after that, I scored the goal that no one remembers.

Oh, I didn't know that actually.

There you go.

My proof.
