How good was Maradona?

[jamesha]

Best player ever in my opinion but Phil Foden has scored more European Cup/Champion's League goals.

Incredible player.

With today's science, knowledge, training and professionalism he'd be off the scale.

Add in the protection he'd get from modern refs and no **** would be getting the ball off him.

The best to have ever played the game imo, considering he carried a poor Napoli side on his own to win Serie A was unprecedented at the time. Also carried the argies at the 86 world cup.

Saw him live against Scotland in 1979.
Amazing display.The world cup in 1986 was the best from any player I have seen.
Loved Pele and never in my wildest dreams would I have seen someone better in my lifetime.

If you could create a footballer in a laboratory from the genes of Tevez, Aguero and David Silva, the result would be Maradona

Tevez + Messi = Maradona.

He was a God in that world cup.

Won it by himself.

2nd best player ever behind Messi. first saw him in the friendly v England 1980 (look up the highlights on youtube) clear as day what a player he would become.

 

[BigJoe#1]

Saw a feature on him on tele, saying how brilliant he was. I swear he played a 1-2 off a post around the keeperto pop the ball home.

GENIUS. I think his grandson is going to be one to watch in the future!

I was at the game at the Azteca in 86 and that guy was magic
By far the best player I have ever seen given the way they were kicked t fck in them days it was amazing
He was on rails with that movement believe me !
