Maradona

[JLW]

What a player arguably the greatest ever!

From the best player in the world to raging beak head is some achievement.

Shine on you crazy diamond

Maradona was definitely a very controversial person but one can't deny he has been one of Argentina's best football players. RIP

 

[JLW]

Love this vid of him

20 seconds in, the golf ball

His feet could control anything, an absolute wonderful footballer

 

[Khalekan]

Very sad news.

Best player ever.

RIP Diego.

Couldn't cheat death eh?

 

[DanB90]

Lived like a Rockstar late into his life. Can’t imagine he’s left with many regrets.

Far to young to have watched him play, but his Napoli side, and Italian football in general at that time, really sticks in my mind as a beautiful period of football

RIP

 

[Mildredblues]

Wouldn't be the least bit surprised, the man really tested the limits of the human body's capacity for drugs. Great player

He burned short and brightly like a red star.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Unbelievable player, some of the goals he would score over in Italy were different level. Was only one when he scored the two infamous goals against England but remember vividly what turned out to be his last World Cup goal at USA 94 with that wild eyed celebration

It’s a beautifully coincidental tragedy that two of the game’s most mercurial but troubled figures have passed exactly 15 years apart, the England Heaven Xl are going to dread the World Heaven Xl bringing Diego on to play alongside Best

Better than pele

 

[arminisgod]

Probably the best ever, full stop, along with Best.

Messi obviously up there but when you consider the eras that those guys played in...

Have you forgot pele?

 

[Alan Whittle]

I bet he could stroll past Terry Fenwick even now.
RIP.

Couldn't cheat death eh?

Maybe God had a hand in it ?
