I still haven't got round to going to watch the movie but hopefully I'll do so at the weekend.

There have been quite a few articles in the media on Diego recently focusing primarily on his time at Napoli.

I've met a few Neapolitans and they revere him like a Saint.

Would you agree that what Diego did to Napoli eclipses his exploits with Argentina in 1986 and 1990?

Yes.

Amazing player. I don't see the point of going to see the documentary/film when I can stream it on the telly.
 
This made me laugh last Summer as well <laugh>

Especially seeing Jug ears Lineker getting all sanctimonious about it after the game.
 
Coke head, get it right. Jimmy Greaves, George Best, Paul Gascoigne, Tony Adams - being a **** up appears to be no barrier to sporting excellence.



Might go and see this movie tomorrow as it goes.

How the **** can you put Tony Adam's in the same sporting bracket as the rest of these guys? Boozing maybe but not "sporting excellence "
 
If Gary Lineker had done what Maradonna did in Mexico most England fans would have loved it. Im sure we would all love to think we woukd have been ashamed and disgusted but would we really? I'm not so sure. I kind of admire him for the audacity tbh. He is a bit of an idiot now though.

It’s only in England where that game in Mexico is remembered for the Hand of God goal. The rest of the world remembers this...

Incredible goal that.

The handball goal wasn't the first time he'd done that either. Apparently he'd done it loads of times before, some were given some weren't
 
Incredible footballer ... what he did for both Argentina and Napoli stand out as phenomenal in the world of sporting achievement... flawed genius? undoubtedly ... but an absolute pleasure to watch on the field.
 
Best player I've ever seen. Only seconded by ronaldhino (only for a short period though )


Was listening to a radio thing on maradonna and his agent said he knew him as two people. One off the pitch who the agent called Diego and one on it who he called maradonna.

The agent went on to say that he loved Diego the person off the pitch, apparently a really nice and down to earth guy. But hated maradonna the player.

I suppose you have to be a conceited prick to become what he did on the pitch
 
What exactly did he do wrong on the pitch, other than trying to win by cheating? Am I missing something here?

From what I've read etc. it was his off the pitch antics that caused his huge downfall.

His agent was probably his dealer, selling one kilo of wiz a week comes to bucks. <laugh>
