Maradona was a cheat

Maradona was the most cheated against footballer in the history of the game. Do some research, sludge.

Which undoubtedly contributed to his on field issues. Being injected with cortisone every match couldn’t have helped his lifestyle.

That foul when the butcher of Bilbao did him has to be one of the most brutal of all time. To come back from that injury and do what he did. Unbelievable.

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.

Loved Maradona, read a number of books on him. ‘ El Diego’ being my favourite just for how he describes vaccinating the English.

Have you visited Naples? Interesting place, how they idolise Maradona is quite something. They see him as representing their city, the poor and he was basically the rebel pissing all over the Northern establishment.

Never been to Naples, would love to go, and maybe travel around Southern Italy. They were seen as shite by the Northern establishment.

Deep mistrust and resentment of Northern Italy and rightly so. Maradona even asked the Neapolitans to support Argentina over Italy in 1990 World Cup semi final due to the animosity.

Well worth a visit Naples, vibrant, wild and energetic. The whole place can seem like chaos. The surrounding area is stunning too.

There a a few shrines to Maradona in bars and coffee shops around Naples - and his image is everywhere!
