Apparently Maradona has given permission for an italian director to make a movie of his life. You havent got to have much imagination to think of a title for the film? Apparently it's going to be called 'The Hand Of God' for obvious reasons..... :roll:

Here's the man himself giving the thumbs up. He's pretty adept at hand skills :wink:
Anyone else like to have a stab at an alternative title, plot and who'll be playing Diego? :razz:

Dunno about title and plot but he could be played by Jeanette Krankie and latterly, Jonny Vegas.

Bernard Manning in "Cheating Junkie Bastard"
has a certain ring to it.

howabout 'From Toepoke or Cowpoke To Line Of Coke?
or maybe 'From Football to Butterball'?
What if they did a 2 part story with part one being 'The Key To Unlock Their Defence....' and Part two being 'Where's The Key To My Corned Beef Tin?' wink
They could have Antonio Banderas (well he was in Evita right? wink ) playing the young Maradona and they could have Cheech Marin with a wig and a bit of padding as the older wasted version.....

Jason Stathan as Terry Butcher
Vinny Jones as himself (why not its hollywood? wink )
Sylvester Stallone as Peter Shilton
Denzel Washington as John Barnes
Jude Law as Glenn Hoddle
George Clooney as Peter Reid
Gary Oldman as Gary Lineker
Ian McKellen as Bobby Robson
Michael Caine as Don Howe

I'm sure this goal will be the main part of the film, not the one he put it with his hand though....

How about SNL's Horatio Sanz as the older Diego...? :)
