Yeah no denying that. Wouldn’t mind so much if he cheated and left it at that. But he fucking went on and on about it for years after, rubbing it in.

Yeah i know. But if he was english youd have fuckin loved him for it ;)

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Sad news

RIP the GOAT

Gutted , a true genius

 

[City Raider]

The best football that’s ever been played was by Maradona in 86 World Cup.

 

[kaz7]

You appreciated his footballing genius though?

If you are a genius you dont need to cheat or take drugs to play ?

 

[Bill]

Forgive me if I dont shed any tears for this drug taking,gun totting football cheat.

Dont think he did in 86 when he carried argentina to a world cup

If you are a genius you dont need to cheat or take drugs to play ?

No. But im pretty sure he was never charged with performance enhancing drugs when he was by far and away the best player on earth? Coke certainly isnt performance enhancing.
certainly not when he carried argentina to a world cup win. Or when napoli, thats ... napoli, won serie A as a one man team.

totally had his faults and was prob a bit of a ****.
But still the best player ever to live

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Rip the greatest to ever do it

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Against Belgium in the '86 World Cup.

That's the first World Cup I could properly remember and even though I was gutted he knocked us out he won that cup by himself, insanely talented player.

lol.

In World Cups, as an individual it’s Maradona
As a team it’s Brazil 70
In my view of course and doubtless opinions will vary

 

[ID70]

Played in the toughest league with no protection and managed to take little Napoli to the top, a genius but flawed.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

The ultimate price is not to have lived at all. We’ve all got to go sometime.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Brilliant footballer, the sort that taught himself. Awful awful person.

Thoughts with Liverpool fans who as we speak will be finding a way to appropriate Argentinian grief #ynwa

Rags got in first,

 

[BongoBlue]

Terrible news. Saw his last ever game for Argentina vs Greece here in Foxboro. Of course he was coked up to the eyeballs and banned after that game but what a footballer. Arguably the greatest ever, who did it on the biggest stage of all in '86 and for dragging unfashionable Napoli to the Scudetto twice and the UEFA Cup. An incalcuable loss to the football world. Terrible person and bad role model but a transcendent footballer.
