Headlines fondly recalled

Wonder what the new pope’s thoughts are re: Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal for Argentina against England in the 1986 World Cup.

No, I don’t really care. But this gives me a chance to recall a couple of my all-time favorite headlines, both from British tabs.

One captured the skepticism about that famous goal: “Handball of God.”

And then, when an English goalkeeper mishandled an easy shot and let in a stunningly weak goal against the U.S. just a few years ago, someone on a British news desk pulled no punches with: “Hand of Clod.”
