Just finished watching the film about him on C4. The Italians did a proper hatchet job on him after the argies beat them in the world cup didnt they.

Yeah the Asif kapadia doc is really good isn't it? For me the GOAT and winning a WC and taking a mediocre team to two scuddetto wins, almost singlehandedly is unsurpassed.

Not that bothered about hand of God, no way was it as blatant or shameless as theirry Henry's against Ireland, and he's not been villefied for it. Plus England got to the QF in '86 and that's their glass ceiling anyway

I've always had a sneaking affection for the guy as a true flawed genius and good guy although that was stress tested at times watching the kapadia doc. The Napoli years were crazy I didn't know he he had a lovechild that he outright denied to his then girlfriend. "Tell me straight to my face, is the baby yours?" "No"

Read an interesting article on the photo of Maradona facing all those Belgium players. They were in a wall and the ball was played diagonal ly to Maradona who was (at that point) controlling the ball and the wall broke up. He then played a pass that was intercepted.

So it really was nothing like how it looked.

Doesn’t change the look on their faces. A Photograph is but one moment in time. What comes before and goes after is of no concern.

What a player. And I’m not really a football fan.
