Ben Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Its probably not true, but I once got told he always wore football boots that were 1 or 2 sizes to small for him cos he had more control of his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 The year that keeps on giving.. Not shocked as he burned the candle both ends and ate all around him. His heart can’t have been in good fettle for at least 10/15 years so probably more surprising that he made it this long. Toss of a coin between him and Messi as the best of all time, I’d give it to Maradona based purely on his influence and doing it on the international stage, their skill levels are on a par but he was just that bit nuts that sets him apart from almost every other player.

NEEJ Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Unfortunately I'm too young to have seen him play but my god, the archive footage. Thoroughly recommend the documentary as others have mentioned. Maradona in Mexico on Netflix is also class, just pure entertainment.

Incognito Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 RIP Diego, despite his obvious failings as a sportsman, and in life in general, there has rarely been a footballer that possessed the talent he did. Not many can say they singlehandedly won his country a World Cup. And as Sewelly says, his time at Naples is incredible and unprecedented Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Can this year get any worse man. What a player, what a character, what a fucking absolute genius and legend, may his soul rest in peace and there’s mountains of coke up there in footy heaven for him. Genuinely gutted about this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 FFS. That England game truly encapsulates who he was. I was only 11 and watching on a shitty tv, but that is one of my clearest sporting memories. What a mad bastard. And what a legend. RIP to the GOAT.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 The word legend is overused, but he was exactly that. I went to Naples a few years ago and his image is everywhere, he is a god to the people of that city. It's astonishing. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Shocked, gutted, tears welling. To many, myself included, the greatest of all times, way football has gone and is going - thats peaked - and I guess that's what it is, at worst we'll only ever lose the greatest of all time once in whatever walk of life or sport - often it wont be in our lifetimes and this is that moment and it feels rank.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 For me and it’s a personal choice specifically to me, Pele is the GOAT, but really, there’s nowt in it between him and Diego in terms of football genius levels. I’m 41 year old and cried telling my youngest Maradona is dead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Wew, massive news. A genuine genius and what a life he lived. If anyone hasn’t watched the film that came out a couple of years back I couldn’t recommend it more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
