RIP Diego Maradona.

What an amazing player he was, unstoppable in his prime.
Guess he can return that hand to it’s owner now, RIP Diego.

Rip Diego
The greatest to have played the game, yes he was controversial and obviously the hand of god will always blight his genius but no other player could join a mediocre team in Napoli playing in the hardest league at the time with the best players in the world there and do what he done
It would be like asking Messi in his prime to join West Ham, Everton or even villa and win the league twice and the uefa cup twice.

George Best a better player in my view, he had it all, and without that childish continental attitude.

I would go with Pele.

Sorry I don’t think whether it was cocaine or performance enhancing makes a difference the rules say you shouldn’t take drugs full stop. I don’t dispute he was a good player but I do have a problem when his faults seem to be swept under the carpet there is no getting away from the fact he cheated at one of the greatest sporting events on the planet and revelled in it and continued to revel in it throughout his life I personally don’t think that warrants the glorification of him and his career on his death I would personally rather attribute the phrase great to someone like Pele who played hard but fair and is a much better role model for the generations to come. Here endeth the sermon from Villajohn!

Pele has ruined his legacy with the constant BS he’s come out with over the last few decades. Blokes an ego maniac.
Although ego maniac is a lot better than a domestic abuser.

Chris, what has that got to do with Pele’s playing days?
In my mind he was a brilliant player who was one of the best footballers of all time.

Nicky shorey for me.

If that’s the case then surely it’s the same for maradona, judging them both purely on football?
28 Nov 2020 13:33:05
Do you know why he turned to drugs and alcohol? I don't so people shouldn't pass judgement on his life or anybody else's for that matter. Pixxes me off big time think before you write thoughtless and downright ignorance that's what some people are!

Good point Daz!
I agree to a point, however the last few years the videos that come out of him on the sniff at games an stuff was ridiculous.
