Ossie Ardiles: 'In Argentina, football is a kind of religion'
Ossie Ardiles was one of the midfield maestros in 1978, when Argentina won its first of now three World Cups.
Ardiles played with Maradona in the national team and became a cult hero in England as a player for Tottenham Hotspur - a team he later managed, among other teams around the world.
How does he feel about Argentina's latest victory?
"It's a huge, huge party," he tells Newshour. "Maybe the biggest ever."
