Never ever saw Diego crying because he was hacked and chopped at. No protection in them days. He just sliced through them, lefted footed player, often tried to keep his opponent to the right, so would run inside, but even great technique with his right. Basically the ball was glued to him.


He went to Italy, and single handedly lifted Napoli out of mediocrity, at a time when Italian defenders were absolute world class thugs to a man. Kicking lumps out of players wasn't a euphemism, it's literally what they did, or tried to do.
 
Probably the only way you could stop him.
It was 4-0 at the time, so yep. Bilbao went on to do the double that season though, beating Barca 1-0 in the final.
That's where the knee in the face from above comes from. Maradona kicked off after the match ended and never played for them again.
 
I loved this at the last world cup <laugh>

****ing funny moment that. Seem to remember the bbc had their cameras on him and were taking about what a great player he was and then cut away when he started giving the middle finger <laugh>

Celebrating a winning goal I think. Brilliant though and just like a fan.

I had it as an avatar for a while iirc.
