" RIP I was lucky enough to be in his company twice in the same week while playing a tournament in Napoli in 1989. Once while we were training and he came over while we were doing a drill and he joined in for a few touches. Then again for the end of tournament dinner. Got his autograph on a mitre football which I still have " Now THATS a story to tell the lads in the pub | |||

"Steve Hodge got destroyed by his team mates for getting Maradonas shirt in 1986. He still has it and it had an estimated value of £500,000 before his death. Probably more now. " Agreed more money now, particularly if he went to Argentina to sell it. | |||

A comment on the radio today about that and how many can see the number of times he was cheated against. He was targeted by every hard man and battering ram in the game and got virtually no protection. One split second incident doesn't define the man or the legend. He had his demons though. | |||

Its not like you hear the Germans complaining about 1966 when the ball did not cross the line. The Germans would have a better argument to say they felt cheated, it was a final at Wembley. | |||

England felt he cheated Maradona acknowledged on his television show that he had hit the ball with his hand purposely, and no contact with his head was made, and that he immediately knew the goal was illegitimate.... also it was bad timing with the Falklands war with the UK a few years earlier his talent was overtook so to speak. | |||

I don't mean to be disrespectful of the man but I'm saying it how it was. The man was talented when it came to the sport but I remember the hatred that went on after the match with regards to him..... it was what it was ........ and I don't care for the sport personally but I remember him purely for that | |||

Bitter and sad! Will you also recall your present captain Harry kane as a cheat when he dives repeatedly to con refs for penalties? Its pretty much the same isn't it?? What about the goal that never was at Wembley in 1966?? You're starting to sound as bitter as that little creep Lineker who over the years has never missed an opportunity to put the boot into regarding all his off field antics. The same Lineker with a brother who has drug dealing convictions. Peter shilton was 6 ft tall and could use his arms outstretched. Maradona was 5 ft 5 and couldn't use his arm outstretched. He still beat him to the ball. If you're looking for someone to blame blame him. Just enjoy the goal of the century that he served up a few minutes later. Man, I never tire of that I've watched it so so so many times this afternoon and still get great amusement of your lot. Peter Reid wading through treacle, big donkeys and cart horses being turned inside out and Shilton completely bamboozled and left on his ass as he glided through your defence. Butcher actually went out of his way earlier in the game to elbow Maradona in the face and yet there was no drama or play acting. The donkey shouldve been sent off and would certainly have in today's game. That never gets mentioned and he wouldnt have had Maradona to blame all these years for robbing him of his chance to win the World Cup, just his idiotic self. | |||

And all this at a time when English football clubs were banned from European competition for their fans rioting everywhere they went and were responsible for the heysel stadium disaster and 39 people losing their lives. The whole world wanted England beaten. And your gripe 34 years on it thag you were cheated? Ask the families of the juventus fans who lost loved ones at Heysel if they feel cheated? | |||

"I remember a friend of mine coming back from a friendly game between Ireland and Argentina. At the time Brady was in his pomp. I asked him how Brady played, he said he was very good but there was this Argentinian player called Maradona who was unbelievable and was going to be a star. The rest is history." Brady still has his jersey from that day | |||

"I think Maradona back in his day was a good player but certainly no better than some players now a day!

What's an extreme leftist ? Do you just mean he was a socialist ?" You've reminded actually of the last day I was out for a few pints and a friend of a friend who is and I quote "99.9% right on everything" . He had mentioned how Trump was going to win the election because Bideb was a radical leftie.. I asked . "What's that?" The reply..."a socialist" Me.. "Do you know what socialism is ?" Him... "yeah...venuzuela" Me.. "that's a country. Do you know what kind of policies socialists tend to endorse?" Him.... "yeah they want to take all your money and fuck up the country".. Me...."I'm just off for a piss pal" | |||

Apart from your clear non existent knowledge of football your "no contribution to society what so ever" quote is pretty dumb. You clearly know nothing about what he did for the morale of his country in the wake of the Falklands war and at a time of hardship. You are also clearly oblivious to what he contributed to Naples as a city and the impact to this day. Over 30 years on and there are murals all over the city for his "contribution to society" there. And the murals aren't painted by the middle and upper classes. This man gave a whole region a legacy and a football identity. | |||

What's an extreme leftist ? Do you just mean he was a socialist ?" for what is worth ... i will answer your question. A far left is a person that hold extreme views especially in terms of politics concerning communism, socialism and totalitarianism. Well he might have labelled himself under a "socialist banner " banner but he certainly enjoyed a life that was not representative of that! To answer someone else's question. I do know what socialism is but not only that I have experience ot first hand being from a country that is currently under a socialist dictatorship regime, socialism is this idea that all aspects of everyday running of a country should be regulated and should belong to the people. "people is government" and let's be clear on paper this might sound quite good but the reality is far from it, nothing belongs to the people everything belongs to "the government" and in most if not all socialist countries "the government" means 1 person or a family in power. I wonder how many of you have experience socialism first hand or have experience poverty as is lived in this places! Anyways I would never see Maradona as someone extra ordinary just for being a good football player! And you are all entitled to you opinion as so am I! But don't assume there is ignorance being someone statement as doing so just makes you that what you assumed! | |||
