Tottenham fullback Hutton chasing Maradona autograph

Tottenham fullback Alan Hutton admits he's chasing the autograph of Argentina boss Diego Maradona.

Hutton will be in action for Scotland tomorrow against the Argies and said: "It's a massive occasion.

"We have looked up to people like that, and it's going to be great to be in the company of him and get to meet him. You still see him as a hero. He has done everything in the game. Everyone looks up to him, even though there is an age gap.

"It was massive even when he wasn't manager. He is a legend for the Argentinian people."

Asked if me may consider asking Maradona for his autograph, Hutton said: "I would say so. If we're in the ground and he walks by, it's going to be strange.

"I think it would be funny just seeing him in front of me.

"Everybody wants to play against teams like Argentina. They are a top nation, and I want to be involved. It's going to be a massive game. If I get a chance, I hope I can take my skills to them. I hope I can show them what I can do."
