Maradona dead: Tributes paid to football legend as Lineker hopes he will 'find some comfort in the hands of God'
Genius on the pitch, fruitcake off it.
RIP
When asked about his career if he had any regrets .........
He said.........
Only one .........
'I often think how good I could have been if I never took drugs' 🤣🤣🤣
His story is a little tragic but a lot more triumphant.
I think the Kapadia Film also strikes that balance.
Ultimately he was a likeable Anti-Hero that was in my eyes at least the greatest football player that I have ever seen.
A vulnerable larger than life genius who snorted coke like a rock star, paid the price for it...but will always have a tremendous legacy.
The best ever in my humble opinion.
On a side note, there must be some sort of link as to how lots of geniuses in all fields, who have bundles of natural talent, also suffer from depression and inner demons.
Maradona George Best, Alex Higgins, Ronnie O’Sullivan Robin Williams Vincent Van Gough Sludge, to name but a few.
The English hate him so he’s fine by me. They tend to forget he scored one of the best goals you’re likely to see in the very same game.
RIP Diego.
What a brilliant player. Easily one of the very best.
RIP Diego.
How fitting (and ironic) that this month’s 442 has an eleven page article on him, it’s almost as if they knew.
Talented player undoubtedly. Great player ? I don’t think so . There was only one greatest of them all and he was Brazilian. He didn’t need to cheat.
On another note, Peter Shilton writing an article and going on tv criticizing Maradona for a handball that happened 34 years ago less than 24 hours after he died shows what a small small man he is
