Robbie Williams mistakes look-a-like for real Diego Maradona?

Singer Robbie Williams appears to have mistaken an impersonator for Argentina football legend Diego Maradona.

The former Take That star posted an image of the pair on Instagram this week after meeting at the ski resort of Ischgl in the Southern Austrian province of Tirol.

Williams, who will captain England in next month's Soccer Aid event, accompanied the image with the message: "The Hand of God meets God. I wish he was playing this year's Soccer Aid! #Maradona."

However, it has since emerged that the man in the photo is 49-year-old German Abi Atic, who has been impersonating the sporting legend for 20 years.

The Daily Mail quotes Atic as saying: "When I was in Ischgl, Robbie was playing a concert. I was waiting to take the ski lift to the top of the mountain.

"Suddenly Robbie jumped out of a van, gave me a hug and said: 'I love you'. I answered 'I love you too!'. Robbie then gave me a kiss on the cheek."
