Just read it.
What a player. An absolute genius.
RIP Diego.
One of Wales greatest hero’s Scotland’s as well😂
RIP and thanks for the memories.
It would be unfair to say Argentina were a one man team when they won the World Cup in 1986, but they would not have got remotely close to doing so without Maradona, so they were the closest thing to a one man team to win a major international competition and that's the main reason Diego Maradona is the greatest player I've seen.
RIP
Rip Diego you crazy diamond. I think you can say he lived life to the full. A genius of football.....
George Best was his hero. George Best died on the same day 15 years ago.

Maradona was a cheat
I would , for me his ability is astonishing and a better role model for youngsters to follow than Maradona , has done it for his country , and in so many leagues and for so long ,his dedication his game and fitness is some record.
Part of the legend status around Maradona was his complex life and wild behaviour .
They keep showing the goals v England. Remember watching the game live. After the 1st goal it was as if he thought hed better score another.
The ball is bobbing up on an uneven surface an incredible goal and he was superb all tournament.
86 was all about Maradona. Ive never seen anything like that since and dont think an individuals impact on a tournament will ever match it.
But yes Ronaldo is a better role model.
Nowhere near as good as a player and he himself is a great player.
Great song in the 80’s “who put the ball in the English net?” “Diego, Diego!!”
I dont see anything wrong with his lifestyle. He's a legend, I met him one and I'll never forget that night in Cuba back in 2001
He's treated like a god in Argentina and Naples, he even has his own church dedicated to him in Naples. The issue with Maradona is much deeper than people think. The best thing people could do is a find out about him, his characteristics, the political landscape in Argentina and the class divide between northern and southern Italy, and how he probably did more to unite the poorest and most vulnerable in those regions than any politician ever could.
