LONDON: Former England defender Terry Butcher said he could not forgive Diego Maradona for his 'Hand of God' goal as the two old foes prepared to meet again 22 years after the infamous incident.
Butcher, now Scotland's assistant coach, still retains a burning sense of injustice over the goal that knocked England out of the 1986 World Cup finals in Mexico.
Maradona takes charge of the Argentine national team for the first time in a friendly against Scotland at Hampden Park on Wednesday.
