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: Edited 25 November 2020 by Buce 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't remember anything like this in English football, apart from 1989 when Arenal and Man Utd both got points docked Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's like the AB players had been instructed to assault him. That said said, the ref was as weak as paediatric piss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pSinatra 2,496 Posted 25 November 2020 Report Share Posted 25 November 2020 (edited) 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 Edited 25 November 2020 by pSinatra 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Shep 1,855 Posted 29 November 2020 Report Share Posted 29 November 2020 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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
