Robson's tenure included 28 qualifying matches, of which only one, against Denmark in 1983, resulted in a defeat. This contributed to England's failure to qualify for Euro 1984, and Robson offered his resignation. It was rejected by the FA chairman, Bert Millichip, and Robson went on to lead the England team to qualify for the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. England were defeated in the quarter-final by Argentina with a brace of goals from Diego Maradona; the infamous "Hand of God" goal, and the "Goal of the Century"
The writing hand The writing hand The writing hand is a mechanical automaton created by Friedrich von Knauss in 1764. A clockwork mechanism moves a hand which dips a pen into an inkstand and writes the phrase ""Huic Domui Deus / Nec metas rerum / Nec tempora ponat"" ("May God not impose ends or deadlines on this house") on a small card. On the silver-coating of the mechanism are the words ""Pro patria"". The instrument was dedicated by von Knauss to the House of Lorraine, which ruled at that time in Tuscany. The object is housed in Room 10 of the Museo Galileo
