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.
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.
lol. Was just about to post that (minus the pic) ****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
Celebrating a winning goal I think. Brilliant though and just like a fan. I had it as an avatar for a while iirc.
RIP Legend Other than England the rest of the Universe remembers him for the other goal in that match in 86
