Very mixed feelings about Diego.

 

Undoubtedly one of the greats, but a lot of trouble.

 

England v Argentina is actually the first match I can remember watching on TV. 

 

The drug use, the controversies...

 

That fight against Athletico Bilbao in the Copa del Ray final was just unbelievable. 

 

Barca knew he was more trouble than he was worth.

 

His legendary status at Napoli was tainted towards the end too.

 

Still, 60 is no age to die nowadays. I guess his lifestyle caught up with him, despite numerous warnings.

 

Shown in isolation, it looks psychopathic, but watch the extended version and see how much shit he took before he cracked and suddenly it seems quite understandable:

Still mental! Don't remember anything like this in English football, apart from 1989 when Arenal and Man Utd both got points docked

Awful. It's like the AB players had been instructed to assault him. That said said, the ref was as weak as paediatric piss.

A genius but a cheater

 

 

As a distraught 13 year old youth, it took me months to get over the hand of god incident.
I hated Maradonna back then but now I’m all old and mellow, I’m surprised how gutted I feel about his death actually.
He was totally unique, a footballing icon and went from the ghetto and no education to winning the World Cup pretty much single handedly.
Regardless of the drugs, cheating and other stuff, it’s a sad day for world football really.

Decent documentary about 5 freestyle footballers (one of them Jeremy Lynch) without a penny between them.  Travelling through the USA, Central America & finally Argentina in the hope of meeting their idol, Maradona.

 

Not too much to do with Maradona, but a good watch anyway

I have to be at home all day tomorrow awaiting a new comfy chair. When it arrives I will watch this. Thanks.

Those of us of a certain age will remember Dave Prowse as the green cross code man with very effective adverts at the time. Meet him at the space centre a few years back, seemed a genuine likeable bloke but I’m glad that they didn’t use his voice as darth as well, imagine a West Country Vader! RIP.
