    Imagine my Scottish family will be upset with this news. Absolutely loved north of the border. 

    Anyone ever see get to see him play in the flesh?
    I saw him at the San Siro in the opening game of Italia 1990, the loss to Cameroon. Some appalling flying tackles by the latter, much worse than the hand of god in terms of cheating but that didn't stop me cheering Cameroonians until I was hoarse. 

    Amazing footballer, I don't think I've ever seen anyone with his balance. 
    Its amazing how some non Charlton/England games stick in your memory. I remember watching that game, some of the tackles by Cameroon were bordering on assault 😄 i can still remember that tackle or tackles on Cannigia vividly.

    RIP

    Your glad someone is dead because he scored a goal with his hand against England. I’d get back on the medication if I were you in case someone nicks your parking space.

    No, I’m just trying to work out what the beefs about. Do you dislike the England football national team?

    I've never said anything about a dislike. I have no idea what @blackpool72 is rambling on about so maybe you could ask him?

    I had bid you goodnight. I was just trying to explain something to @ValleyGary.

    I think Maradona will always be in the pantomime villain role as far as most England fans are concerned. The bloke comes over as though he’s always been a Marmite type character to anyone, let alone if he scored the winning goal against your nation with his hand to knock em out the World Cup.

    He was undoubtedly a brilliant footballer and he certainly seemed to have lived his best life to the end. So, yeah RIP, but I’ll still reserve the right, as an Englishman and England football supporter, to dislike him as a player and a cheat

    Greatest to ever kick a ball

    could watch videos of him all day, the famous clip that’s always on twitter of him warming up is superb 

    He single handedly turned good/average teams into great ones and winners

    A genuine question. How would you feel if an English player had done this in the same game and got away with it?

    Neither would I. I'm no fan of cheating but the game has always had it. I remember feeling really p***ed off with Thierry Henry in the Ireland playoff game.

    One thing is for sure. You can't have an argument (sorry discussion) as to who is the greatest footballer ever without his name cropping up.

    Agreed. Would have been interesting to see him play in a modern setting- defenders couldn't have roughed him up as much.

    One of the most iconic football photos.


    It’s a brilliant pic and absolutely sums up Maradona playing to a tee.

    But I’ve always suspected the origin of the photo was a short free kick played right to Maradona, causing the (Belgium?) wall to break up.

    anyone know?
    Definitely Belgium.  Not really thought about how those players came to be in that position, but your free kick explanation sounds highly plausible to me. No-one, not even Maradona, ever had six men marking them. To do so would mean there were five players running around unmarked, that would be football suicide.

    He cheated
    He said he would happily cheat against us again
    He openly detested England.
    No class
    Alleged domestic abuse
    Drugs abuse

    As a proud Englishman I’m never going to be a fan, irrespective of his undoubted genius. From the amount of comments on here in the past from people who have no interest in England, I’m not surprised many don’t mind him and would not get the dislike some may hold.

    Always sorry for peoples families but personally would genuinely be more upset to hear the dog next door has passed.
