So Maradona arrives at the Pearly Gates. St Peter says "just a minute while I check..."

A few seconds later: "the Big Man has asked for a VAR review, says it wasn't his hand"

‘86 handball, but **** me, that second goal, World Class. He was undoubtedly one of the, if not the greatest footballer I’ve ever seen. That’s what I’m judging him on, not the other **** he did. That’s irrelevant to me!
 
All those years performing on the world stage, and a Bradford lorry driver had more pages by this point. Nuff said.
 
Postings on Maradona make me laugh. Some think he's a ****, end of, some think he's one of the greats (not inconsistent those two views) and as such should be remembered in that light and his 'weaknesses' should be put to one side. These viewpoints and no doubt others are not necessarily inconsistent and everyone is entitled to their view. I happen to think he's a cheating **** and so **** him I'm not shedding a tear. I'm just as entitled to that view as the next. End of subject and no need for criticism of different views.

Shilton thinks he's a cheating **** btw, he told me. I doubt he's shedding a tear today. Second goal was, although of course immensely skillful, due to they didn't want to touch him as someone might have got sent off - that was the recollection.

Great player, **** person, end of.
 
Makes you wonder why they introduced the need for referees in the game ?
And the expression "Where's your glasses ref ?"
The only time I got sent off in a game was when I took a drag off a mate's cigarette as I was taking a corner in an inter-school game. I wasn't breaking the rules of football to be sure.
Most ****ers cheat if they think they can get away with it - if they want to win that is.

Snorted a lot of coke, slept with hundred of women played his hobby and was one of the greatest footballers ever and was hero worshipped.
The man had a good life lived more In a week then most people do in a lifetime.
Cheating **** though.

When Harry Haslam was manager of the blunts he wanted to sign an unknown Diego Maradona, but it went pop and they bought Alex Sabella instead.

Peter Reid was wearing divers boots that game, he should have taken one for the team, but was wading through treacle and couldn't catch him.
 
Some people aren't going to have many musicians to listen to if they don't like druggies.
Presumably alcoholic footballers, and there have been more than a few of them, are OK
I won't be shedding tears over Micheal Owen for cheating the Argies. or is that OK if you are English? As for Thierry Henry after what he did in that World Cup qualifier.
