According to reports from the Argentine press, an Englishman was arrested on the day when Diego Armando Maradona made his official debut as the coach of Argentina against Scotland after the Englishman was planning to kill the legend.

The Englishman was identified as Ian Wellworth, a 43-year-old, who was detained when found in the possession of a machete.

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, who resides in Middlesbrough, made a bet on the game, and had borrowed money, but lost everything because of the result, including his wife, who left him.

"I bet £500 that England would win the World Cup in Mexico, and I would have claimed five times the amount if successful," declared Wellworth.
