My Take
Steve Hodge is forever tangled in one of football's most mythic moments, and I find that fascinating. An English midfielder born in Nottingham in 1962, he enjoyed a strong club and international career across the 1980s and 1990s, including the 1986 World Cup and two League Cups with Nottingham Forest. History remembers him partly because his attempted clearance fell to Maradona before the Hand of God, an unlucky footnote that ironically made him eternal. I respect players who become witnesses to defining history while still posting real silverware of their own. He later moved into coaching, and I hold a quiet admiration for these living links to the game's legends.
