Just found out this news, probably not the fondest of people for the English but what a player - grew up in the Ireland in the late 80s watching this man and his like will never be seen again. Tragic

Unbelievable skills this guy had, I don't think Messi or Ronaldo can touch him, Diego conquered all for club and country at a time when refs were far less forgiving, VAR would probably break at some of the tackles back then. Sadly he stoned out of his head half the time - imagine if he was sober

Had killer dance moves as well

In fact this one is worse... actually mention us

RIP LEGEND

A very flawed man, but a wonderful and brilliant fooballer.

The best of all time to me.

Had the guts that Messi massively lacks and the creativity and genius that the rest didn't have.

Nothing but love and respect for the man as a player. As a person he was his own worst enemy and didn't take his responsibilities as a father, husband and grandfather anywhere close to serious enough. Now he's leaving them behind far too soon.

RIP but I hope Gascoigne and others don't go the same way.

Rest in peace you tax-dodging coke head.

His second goal in the famous ‘hand of God’ game, is probably the best goal I’ve ever seen.
The hand of God is now on Maradonna.

RIP to him but I hope Gascoigne and others don't go the same way.

indeed, the greatest surprise is he lasted this long but his skills on the pitch were a delight to behold - he is one of the few players I would pay to watch

No way. You didn't see Maradona didn't rack up 3,000 goals in Saturday afternoon kickabouts on the green. Pele always just had an instinct for where the two jumpers were that's never been matched

amazes me the disrespect Pele gets. He played in the worlds best league, for a side that swatted it's european rivals when they played, leading scorer for the most succesful national side of all time snd also won 3 world cups

Only cult player that could compare to him would be Robbie Fowler. Not for his playing skills mind you.

Think he was stoned for two reasons.

Mafia drew he in to their embrace as soon as he landed in Naples
And he says that it helped to mask the pain of the hatchet men tackles. Was brutal stuff.

Best baller ... outside of Duncan McKenzie - I’ve ever seen
