    worlds greatest footballer ..hogwash worlds greatest cheat, there are and have been fantastic players real sports men who played fair,it was this twat that showed the world what can be yours by cheating, now 80% try it on, my finger is pointed firmly at his door, if he did that with Italy or Germany he would have been ostracised.

    Im not going to pretend i like the horrible little cheating b#stard now that he's died.

    What I will do though is take a moment and appreciate how much of a brilliant footballer he was.
    He will go down in history as one of the greatest EVER.

    I never liked him as a person, but you can't deny he was a great footballer.

    we would have drawn that game had he not 'volleyed' it in, good player though and should have signed for us in 1977.

    that was in the days of true Gentlemen Bobby Moore would never do that and never got cards for his sliding tackles from behind, that twat didn't need to cheat he had the skill but the shortarse couldn't reach that ball, it was him that brought that ****e mentality to today's game, after the world cup he went to italy who in turn perfected the art of diving and cheating learning from the leading world expert on the subject,plenty of talent though, will i miss him na

    It wasn't so much what he did, its the way he acted aftewards by trying to deny what he had done, and then gloating about it and naming it the hand of God.

    The only blot on his great career was a horrendous mistake by Peter Shilton ...

    ... a wonderful player who obviously loved the game.

    Rest in Peace.

    This warm up for Napoli typified his love, enjoyment and passion for the game.

    Football was a fine art to him.....




    (Videos better with sound, its the actual music that was playing in the stadium at the time)..

    Somebody who i find it difficult to right a suitable obituary note for. Im just too young to have witnessed him in his prime. Just remember being irritated by his late career and after career foibles. RIP

    Probably high as a kite there as well. Imagine what he could do with his laces fastened.
