    Just a bit of fun.
    Try without Google.
    Watching the masked singer last night and successful guess of hoddle got me thinking.

    Can you name any of the team / squad that beat England in that 1986 match. I could only get 1 other than maradonna & I think he played for sheff u, but could be wrong.

    Also, a former manager of ours was in the England squad.

    Apart from Maradona, Batista and Burrachaga (I can still see his goal celebration from the final in my mind) played for Argentina. Can't think of any Sheff U players in that squad, if you're thinking of Sabella then this game was past his time as I believed he retired from international football in the early 80s

    Former manager Viv Anderson was on the bench for England that day

    Was their keeper Pumpidoo? (That will definitely be spelt wrong and I can’t remember his first name)
    I know he was their keeper for opening match of Italia 90 v Cameroon and broke his leg in that game.
