An Englishman was arrested on the day when Diego Armando Maradona made his official debut as the coach of Argentina against Scotland, after planning to decapitate the Argentine football legend.
It has been claimed that he was hoping to enact revenge on Maradona for his controversial "Hand of God" goal against England back in the 1986 World Cup. Wellworth made a bet on the game, and had borrowed money, but lost everything because of the result, including his wife, who left him.
The amount of money in question was 600 euros, but if England had won the World Cup he would have earned five times the amount.
