Considered too young for Carlos Menotti’s 1978 World Cup squad despite having made his debut in 1977, aged 16, Maradona duly went about terrorising poor saps his own age the following year in Japan. With England still reeling, the woefully misfiring Hoddle gave the ball away cheaply in the middle of the Argentina half.

As a 17-year-old, Pele scored two goals as Brazil won the final over host Sweden, 5-2. The Netherlands, meanwhile, advanced to the semis, losing to Argentina, and then went on to defeat host Brazil in the third-place game. Maradona was sent home in disgrace from the USA after failing a drugs test for ephedrine (which he blamed on his personal trainer, then later claimed he had a broken agreement with FIFA to use it for weight loss) – in what was a truly awful tournament for Argentina.
