Terry Butcher: I’ve learned to live with the Hand of God goal better
Former England centre-back Terry Butcher spoke to the Guardian in a reader Q&A about facing Diego Maradona in the 1986 World Cup and the infamous Hand of God goal. Butcher explained that while his feelings about that afternoon have not changed, he has learned to live with it better and is no longer as annoyed by the memory. He also paid tribute to former England and Ipswich Town manager Bobby Robson, praising his top-class man-management and tactical knowledge. Additionally, Butcher discussed playing alongside Des Walker for England, his international career highlights, and his ongoing support and charity work for military veterans following the death of his son.
