When Diego Maradona was REJECTED by Sheffield United

Did you know that Diego Maradona was nearly signed by Sheffield United in 1978? At just 18 years old, the young Maradona was on the verge of joining the English club for a fee of £400,000. But in a shocking twist, Sheffield United’s chairman, John Hassell, turned down the deal, saying no 18-year-old was worth that much money.
Instead, Sheffield United signed another Argentine, Alex Sabella, for £160,000. Maradona went on to become a football legend, leaving Sheffield fans to wonder, "What could have been?"-Maradona at Bramall Lane.
