New Tottenham stadium: When Diego Maradona played at White Hart Lane against Inter
In case you weren’t aware, Tottenham’s redeveloped White Hart Lane stadium is almost open for business.The final test event before the first Premier League match – against Crystal Palace on 3 April – sees Spurs legends play a team full of Inter legends.This is appropriate considering some of football’s greatest players have graced the previous incarnation of the Lane, including Diego Maradona.2

Maradona put on a Spurs shirt to play with Tottenham legend and compatriot Ossie Ardiles at the old White Hart Lane in 1986

Here, talkSPORT.com looks at when one of the greatest players ever donned a Spurs shirt to walk out at the famous stadium in front of 30,000 people.Why?
