By Leon Watson Robbie Williams has been caught out boasting about a bizarre meeting with World Cup star Diego Maradona - only to find he was just a look-alike, it emerged today. The singer, 38, was tricked by a 49-year-old German into thinking he had bumped into Argentinian's most famous footballer after the pair bumped into each other up a mountain. Williams then posted a picture online of himself and the impersonator with the message: 'The Hand of God meets God. I wish he was playing this year's Soccer Aid! £Maradona'.
