“He went past me, played a one-two,” says Reid, picking up the story again.
“I felt comfortable feeling Shilts was going to get it. As he went up, I saw the handball. Maradona did it well. It was cute, you would say that.
“I remember the ground exploding [with fans celebrating] and I realised he’d given it. Glenn Hoddle, Terry Fenwick, Shilts and me ran after the referee.”
Reid describes seeing Maradona’s second goal unfold as he forlornly gave chase as like “being in a dream”.
“He was just too quick. If you look again, Hoddle gets fouled, it wasn’t given and then Maradona’s gone.
“His touch and pace [was staggering] even with the pitch being awful and covered with potholes. He was just too quick.”
“From the stand at the far end of the stadium where I was sat as a substitute, I just clapped,” Anderson interjects.
“Well, I was on the pitch so couldn’t have got away with that,” Reid responds with a laugh.
