May 12th News English legend Leinker encountered an embarrassing moment of his past experience on The Assembly, which caused hilariousness.

This ITV1 series invites celebrities to receive sharp interviews with people with autism, neurodiversity or learning disabilities, and the latest episode invites Reinker.

When an interviewer mentioned the past when Leinkell played for England and talked about Maradona's famous "Hand of God" in the quarterfinals of the 1986 World Cup, the former scorer admitted: "I was very upset at the time."

"To be honest, I was on the other end of the court at that time, but from the reactions of teammates Terry Butcher and Peter Hilton, they knew he scored with his hands."

The interviewer immediately complained: "If there was VAR, this would not have happened, really", and said that the ball was pure nonsense, which made Leinkell laugh.
