El Diego RIP

Great song in the 80’s “who put the ball in the English net?” “Diego, Diego!!”

I thought it was Arthur, half of fcuking Europe.

If the people who are calling him a cheat because of his hand ball goal against England they’re talking through their arse, drug taking issues are another matter but anyone who’s played football at any level who’s not been involved in or scored a dodgy goal and not put their hands up and told the ref to disallow it is a cheat as well. It’s up to the officials and if they award a goal any player worth his salt will take it all day long. I’ve often wondered how the English press would have reacted had, say, Gascoigne been awarded a similar goal, The Sun would have revelled in a ‘Ave That, Gazza Hands It To ‘Em’ type headline, as would the other tabloids. Great, great player, a character of the like football needs more of.

He got away with it, ****'em. He said that he pick pocketed the english, where he grew up and in his culture, what he did was fair game.

Didn't fourfourtwo rank him as the best footballer of all time?
