See Maradona's Wondergoal In '86 From A Whole New Angle

This new video captures, like no other, not only the trickery that allowed Maradona to evade the early tackles, but also Peter Reid's almost superhuman slowness.

Surely the man was within reach of getting a tackle in, it is almost like he forgot he was playing against Maradona for a moment. One of the most famous displays of sheer slowness ever seen in sport.

We've speeded it up here, recognising that slow motion can sometimes make things worse for players like Reidy but to no avail. It still looks shocking. We could speed up to Benny Hill levels but Reidy still wouldn't look like he was going fast.

Maradona did well though. Full marks.
