New Tottenham stadium: When Diego Maradona played at White Hart Lane against Inter
In case you weren’t aware, Tottenham’s redeveloped White Hart Lane stadium is almost open for business.The final test event before the first Premier League match – against Crystal Palace on 3 April – sees Spurs legends play a team full of Inter legends.This is appropriate considering some of football’s greatest players have graced the previous incarnation of the Lane, including Diego Maradona.2

Maradona put on a Spurs shirt to play with Tottenham legend and compatriot Ossie Ardiles at the old White Hart Lane in 1986

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?

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…
