He's about as close to a living god as you could imagine, even with all his nuttiness. Of course he's been living on borrowed time for quite a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Justgrazing Posted November 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2020 Scored one of the greatest goals and one of the most infamous ever .. both in the same game against England .. Took Napoli to 2 Serie A titles and twice runners up in 6 yrs during the 80/90's .. in his professional career he only played 491 games but scored 259 goals .. almost single handedly won the 86 world cup for Argentina before nearly repeating it by getting them to the final of Italia 90 .. a flawed genius described by many who played alongside him as the greatest player ever .. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AlexRich Posted November 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2020 He was an amazing talent, and his presence in a team could transform it from ordinary to exceptional.

That looks like a 17 year old Maradona in Glasgow? Argentina played Scotland in a friendly in 1979, as world champions. My boys club football team had organised some tickets, but I never went. And then went to training later to hear everyone rave about a kid called Maradona, who tore Scotland to shreds ... regret not going to this day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ultimately Maradona will be remembered for his exceptional ability. I don’t personally believe the so-called “hand of God” incident would have changed the outcome as Argentina were the better team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
