Here, talkSPORT.com looks at when one of the greatest players ever donned a Spurs shirt to walk out at the famous stadium in front of 30,000 people.Why? The Argentina international was appearing in international team-mate Ossie Ardiles’ testimonial, against Inter in May 1986, meaning for one night Tottenham’s midfield consisted of Glenn Hoddle, Chris Waddle, Ardiles and Maradona, who turned up without boots and had to borrow Clive Allen’s! “Ossie says: ‘Who takes [size] six and a half?'” Allen recalled to Kick Off on talkSPORT.“I tell him I do and that I had two pairs of boots; one old pair I’d worn all season and a new pair I was breaking in, so I said: ‘Diego, be my guest and take whatever pair you want!'”Acting as translator, Ardiles explained Maradona wanted the old ones, but after about five minutes of pleading from Allen, he was convinced to use the newer pair and even signed them for him after the game.Son of Tottenham double winner Les, Clive Allen scored 49 goals for Spurs during the 1986/87 season2

Some of the flicks and skills were incredible.”Waddle was equally impressed by hispresence. “We were saying to Ossie afterwards, What did he think?” he told tottenhamhotspur.com.“When we were saying that, Maradona came up to me in the dressing room and shook my hand. And through Ossies translation, he said, ‘very good player, he should play in Italy.“I thought, Wow, Maradona just said Im a good player.”In the video above,Martin Tyler askedthe player whether he could envisage any problems if England and Argentina met in the upcoming 1986 World Cup, considering thethunderous reception he received from fans inside the stadium.Maradona said he couldn’t…

Bogarde said of his Chelsea career: Why should I throw 15m away when it is already mine? At the moment I signed it was in fact my money.
