Ex-England midfielder Peter Reid has paid tribute to Diego Maradona, a “genius at work”, following the Argentine’s sudden death at the age of 60.

Reid played opposite Maradona in the infamous ‘Hand of God’ game between England and Argentina at the 1986 World Cup and said despite Maradona cheating by scoring with his hand in the match, Maradona was still a genius.
