brownie Posted November 25, 2020 Report Posted November 25, 2020 Great Great little player. Was at the 1986 Hand of God World Cup final in Mexico City and at the 199 WC final when Argentin'a défeated West Germany.. Hé was magic! Quote
sidewinder Posted November 25, 2020 Report Posted November 25, 2020 Like George Best, a total disaster off the patch as well as a genius on it. RIP though. Quote
Dmitry Posted November 25, 2020 Report Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) Oh no....for me he was the most naturally-gifted footballer of our time, maybe of all time. Watching him on the pitch was like listening to Coltrane flying through the Giant Steps. Effortless, inventive, full of humor...brilliant. The only other one who was in the same orbit - Ronaldinho.

mjazzg Posted November 25, 2020 Report Posted November 25, 2020 Genius footballer. The second goal against England in that quarter-final is sublime football and for me eclipses all the fuss about the first goal. Asif Kapadia's film 'Maradona' is a fascinating watch giving some insight into the off-pitch Diego 3 minutes ago, mjazzg said: Genius footballer.

Hindsight's a marvellous thing I'll watch it this week. Have you watched 'Maradona in Mexico' ? He was not in any kind of shape mentally and physically these past years. Sad to see one of the few true geniuses in this sport to disintegrate so overtly, and irreversibly. Quote
