Football? Lost the argument did you? Mind you I wonder how many Maradona ****ged?
Not what his ex mrs said
Could never understand why Gregory didn't just scythe him down in the Hand of God game. He would have in a league game.Mexico 86 was the first World Cup I properly took interest in, he was so far above the rest. You think no special help that today’s players get, and did it while on the Charlie! Greatest player, with demons? Interesting debate to have, but got to be in the top 6.
Pele, Cruyff, Best,Ronaldo, Messi, and Diego
It was just a joke! Maradona did his share.Football? Lost the argument did you? Mind you I wonder how many Maradona ****ged?
Neither did you by the sound of it.I saw Maradona play against Yanited in the 80's for Napoli in the old European cup I think it was - dont remember much of the game as I was very very drunk in the back of a transit van with about 10 others - probs 84 or 85 around the time of the miners strike as we got stopped by the rozzers great player but he didn't shine that night for sure
No way would I ever see him in a different light. If I had ever seen him walking down the road I would have crossed over to avoid him.Those, rightly, calling him a cheat. Watch the documentary, I guarantee you will see him in a different light.
Ha ha. I’m sure he liked you too Burton!No way would I ever see him in a different light. If I had ever seen him walking down the road I would have crossed over to avoid him.
Not in 78 he didn’t.The greatest player of all time in my view. Almost single-handedly inspired Argentina to win the world cup.
RIP
He scored a few other goals with his feet...Pele was the greatest. Didn’t have to cheat to achieve greatness.
It’s a lot like comparing Hamilton to Schumacher. One had to cheat to attain greatness, the other one transgresses the sport.
Nevertheless l hope he finds peace now.
I watched it, its a great documentary, he was certainly a genius, exploited to a great extent after he got to Naples, but he knew he was a **** and lived up to it. That's as much his legacy as his ability, you can't ignore the drugs either.Those, rightly, calling him a cheat. Watch the documentary, I guarantee you will see him in a different light.
Maybe Bestie?Not the GOAT for me - Pele would have that accolade. Maradona not even the greatest Argentinian.
Thank you for that comparison, I'm a bit fed up about reading the Lewis put downs.Pele was the greatest. Didn’t have to cheat to achieve greatness.

I thought Best was N Irish?Maybe Bestie?
Nope, Pele played longer and on the greatest stage winning the WC three times and voted Player of the Century. How many WCs did Best get?Maybe Bestie?
He didn't play in the 78 finals, only a teenager at that time.Not in 78 he didn’t.
(as in - Argentina had players that had already brought a WC home, previously)
Can't argue with that. But George was the most gifted player I have ever seen.Nope, Pele played longer and on the greatest stage winning the WC three times and voted Player of the Century. How many WCs did Best get?
Pele was better and playing conditions were worse then. Maradona, as good as he was was a cheating drug addict. Not a good example of a human being whereever he came from.
Pretty sure that was fake, wasn’t it?Terrible tweet from Peter Shilton.
I wont put it up, because of the swearing.
"Try to cheat death, you fat little c---"
That is completely out of order and disrespectful, to a man who has just lost his life. There is no need for that.
Can’t be his real account. Must be a fakeTerrible tweet from Peter Shilton.

Spot on..Those, rightly, calling him a cheat. Watch the documentary, I guarantee you will see him in a different light.
