Diego Maradona

[Phil1]

He lived the life I would have had I been the best player in the world..

 

[Kippax77]

Unbelievable footballer. Had the skill of 3 players today.
RIP

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Great player. Sorry to hear this.

 

[ROCKET80]

The greatest to have ever played the game.

 

[SamBlue]

Including kicking a bloke in the head whilst he's on the floor.

Cunts trick.

Fuck him, if he jumped on his head and squashed it like a melon, job done. They'd literally tried to end Diego's career and his livelihood while in Spain. They were worst than ETA. I don't know if you remember that Bilbao side, I do and they were the worst that ever happened to football with Goikotxea leading them. I spoke to my father who remembered at that time really bad Chilean, Uruguayan and Italian sides, but nothing compares to that Bilbao, they were intentionally hurting people for the sake of hurting them.

 

[OB1]

An astonishingly talented player.

60 is definitely too young...

RIP

Hugely gifted player...Unable to cheat the grim reaper.

In a game of football? Sport? Job done?


I really do despair sometimes.

He gets linked with being a cheat for that goal, but how many players cheat every single week, diving to win penalties? No different to me. Also you never hear Thierry Henry constantly called a cheat every time his name is mentioned for exactly the same thing.

 

[JRockBlues]

Undoubtedly one of the greatest footballers of all time. Such an inspiration to many and a millstone for one.

 

[lafitz2008]

I've had a similar life to him if you take out all the football bits

You do if you're speaking to an Irish person.

Or the people who kicked the fuck out of him
Is that not cheating?
He paved the way for the players of today to get better treatment from refs and tackles to result in red cards
We all wanna see maradona and messi play
Can’t let the real cheats like vinnie Jones win

 

[EricBrooksGhost]

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

The BBC, surprise, have an article up about Best.
I'll take the drug taking, gun toting cheat any day.

 

[crazyg]

RIP Benji's granddad.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

The Greatest

 

[markprendy]

I get that in Ireland but not worldwide. And as I said players cheat every single week. No difference to me when you see Mane or Salah throwing themselves on the floor to win a penalty.

 

[PragueBlue]

Great player (top 3 of all time IMO) but flawed individual. RIP.

 

[manimanc]

He was the greatest ever player I've ever seen, a true legend of football, only 60 as well.
As much as the argies hated the brits and vice versa over the Falklands his football did the talking.

Really gutted about a man who I loved to watch but loathed at the same time. He's left behind some absolute fantastic memories.

 

[asahartford1]

Sad news, he was the greatest player of all time imo. 60 isn't a bad knock though, all things considered.

Once you get a half ton one needs to aim higher than 60,
RIP
