Back in 1981, the 8th of March 1981 to be precise, the Falklands War hadn't yet happened and Diego Armando Maradona was a famous young footballer in his homeland, about to gain global recognition for his talents.
In later years the 'Hand of God' incident would sour relations between him and the English. But this was the day, 27 years ago, when Diego met his heroes, the English rock band Queen before their gig in Buenos Aires. Later that night he joined them on stage as a special guest during their rendition of 'Another One Bites the Dust' and posed for this amazing photo, a photo which makes us question things which we'd previously taken for granted about the famous man's loyalties.
Yes, quite incredible...I never thought I'd ever see the late great Freddy Mercury wearing an Argentina shirt!! Listen to an audio recording of the concert by clicking on the following link:
