Diego Maradona dies

[Con M]

RIP the flawed genius.

[thebeautifulgame]

+1. Football legend and genius may be an overused term these days but not when it comes to this man. Sensational talent
on the football field, a rogue off it. RIP Diego.

[Nice One Cyril]

Forever remembered.

As a dirty little cheat. I for one will shed no tears. Might even open a nice bottle of wine to celebrate, 1986 was a good year apparently.

[eagleboy]

Scoring the “goal of the century” in the same game one of many ,many highlights. One of very few that can hold the title GOAT.
Always remembered.

do you really think this mans legacy will be defined by what .85% of the worlds population think of him????

besides scoring the greatest individual goal against English witches hats he did you the ultimate favour by saving you from another penalty shoutout loss to the Germans

[Bomber]

Anyone who could annoy so many poms is ok by me. A unique and legend of a player.

[Rookie]

The best players that i saw live, I didn't get to see Pele but Diego Armando Maradona was a pure superstar and lived a very hard and controversial life, RIP to the GOAT.

I don't give a fuck what 99.15% of the world population think of him, he wasn't a sportsman, he was a cheat. Shame he wasn't on the Belgrano.

You might be right about the Krauts though

Him and bloody Tomaszewski, but at least I could respect big Jan.

@ NOC
happy for you to have your opinion...as long as you understanding that in the scheme of things...its insignificant.

But your Cloughy called Tomaszewski a clown.

ps, I thought a loose truce was called that there would be no “funny” or spiteful comments on RIP threads...

[theorakle]

all detracters should watch that warmup.

[united92]

One of the best to have ever played our game. A legend

NOC is insignificant, probably even at home, hence why he comes on here for attention.

Ignore the old man, i'ts best the thing to do at times.

[Scholes]

Drug addicted cheat. Good riddance.

WOW!!!! You harp on about players cheating then saying to all detractors watch the warm up ....

[Old Master]

The 'Hand of God' goal will always taint his memory but in the very same match he demonstrated why he is regarded the GOAT by making six England defenders look like training cones.

I used to use that goal to explain to doubting children that being able to weave through cones at full pace was a useful training tool.

I'll also remember him for breaking Australian hearts when he did something I never saw anyone else do and that was turning Milan Ivanovic inside out and scoring a brilliant goal to knock us out of the World Cup.

RIP to the flawed Genius that is Diego Maradona.

Party at mine tonight, going to be a big celebration.

He did turn Ivanovic inside out on the flank but then crossed to Abel Balbo who scored. Australia equalised 6 mins later through Aurelio Vidmar. A French newspaper described this flawed genius Maradona as “half angel, half devil”.

I think you need to pump the brakes there a little. It's not like he was responsible for mass genocide or enslaving people, he was a footballer. You are within your rights to not like him as a person and/or a player but to openly celebrate someone's untimely death is low, even for you. He meant a whole lot to a lot of people and at the end of the day he is still a son, a father, a grandfather and deserves to be mourned by people.
