Maradona wasn’t God after all

call it blind optimism

requested a bespoke kit and the Dutch FA again bowed to his wishes

photographer Denis Thorpe flew to Leningrad

The Bird Lady

Messi growing old and retiring

placing her second overall

a few days earlier

to paraphrase Gary Lineker’s famous quip

pit ponies … the great photographer Don McPhee captured them all in his beloved northern Britain during his long career with the Guardian

but this image is an uplifting memory from that heartbreaking summer

This beautiful picture distils the euphoria of that period and recognises Maradona as the leader of his adopted people
