Football fans at King George’s Field over the weekend will have been forgiven for rubbing their eyes in disbelief when they looked at the Corinthian Casuals teamsheet.

Diego Maradona, a Brazilian footballer who shares his name with the Argentinean great, scored Casuals’ winner in Sunday’s 1-0 Geoff Harvey Memorial Vase third place play-off triumph over Ryman Premier League Met Police.

It is not the first time a ‘famous’ south American has worn the club’s familiar chocolate and pink colours with World Cup legend Socrates having played for the Casuals during a tour of Brazil in the 1980s.

Boss James Bracken’s Casuals had lost 1-0 to Hampton & Richmond Borough in Saturday’s semi-final prior to Sunday’s win.

Tooting & Mitcham United lifted the trophy after beating the Blues 3-0 on Saturday and then edging past the Beavers 4-3 in a penalty shoot out after the final had finished 3-3.

Casuals next head to Colliers Wood on July 24.
