DiegoMaradona:"TheNameHeWouldn'tSay"

Peter Shilton spent thirty-four years refusing to say one name out loud.

The name he wouldn't say? Diego Maradona.

1986. World Cup quarterfinal. Maradona punches the ball over him with a closed fist. The referee misses it. Goal stands.

Peter Reid stood right next to the referee and mimicked the exact handball, hoping he'd change his mind. He didn't.
