Fabulously talented footballer ... certainly had a dark side and his share of demons ... but what a player. RIP
Amazing he got to 60 really. I watched the documentary on his life only a few months ago, it was fascinating and well worth a watch when they inevitably put it back on very shortly. He did beak during most of his career, even in his prime. Finally kicked it after nearly snuffing it and became a raging alcoholic. A classic example of a flawed genius. Until Messi came along he was the best I’d ever seen. R.I.P.
Who'd have thought that doing coke in your late 50's was a bad idea. Undoubtedly one of the greatest of all the time, imo the best.
Great footballer, troubled person, 3 days of national mourning - which UK sporting icon would we get 3 days off for when they die Oh and he was a cheat
If you factor in the part he played in Argentina winning a world cup there is a very good argument to say that, comparatively, he was better then Messi ...
The Argentine coke trade will be in mourning. Top player Lousy snake True gent Big cheat Troubled genius Probably footballs most complex figure, big character.
Truly was a great exemplified by his dragging the useless Argentinian team to the 90 world cup final .
