There was that eternal child in him. The innocent delight that sparked every time he touched a ball.
Without that child the Hand of God goal would've been impossible. And the second goal of the match, the run from his own half-line, perhaps the best goal of all time

That child lived in him notwithstanding the truckloads of cocaine, the links with the mafia, the sex workers in his room, the fake penis to dodge drug tests, the hideously bloated self after years of substance abuse

When as manager of Argentina he stood beyond the sidelines, desperately trying to fit in his charcoal-black suit … and when in that avatar he trapped the errant match ball effortlessly with his formal shoe … that eternal child sparked again.

In the other world, if there is one, all that the child will need is a football. And perhaps some vices.
And then, I am sure, even the hand of God will reach out for the ball.
