Diego Maradona has died

[Deek]

Can only imagine the mourning that will be taking place in Argentina over the next few weeks

 

[fbshd]

He passed away 15 years to the day after George Best died. I think football now has an official date to mourn it's legends.

I feel privileged to have seen both of them play.

This year just keeps taking doesn't it. He lived some life and was a raving lunatic but no doubting he was a genius in the world of football. One of the very best ever.

RIP Diego.

[ekbear]

The greatest player I’ve ever seen. I wanted to be Maradona after Mexico 86.


RIP Diego.

RIP Diego

 

[JW1988]

After his treatment of Fernando he went down even further in my estimation as a human being

Still a cracking player though.
sad news

 

[Chainman]

One of the greats!

 

[Trueblue76]

GOAT imo, what a life and career, never be another like him.

Can’t believe that was 15 years ago

 

[DelPiero]

Absolutely shit news in an absolutely shit year.

RIP.

 

[instructor]

Recently had brain surgery but didn't realise he was in imminent life danger.
One of the best players ever, 60 is too young to die.
R.I.P. Diego Maradona.

 

[stevo1984]

What a player. Watched a good documentary on him last year. Crazy guy

 

[superallythe2nd]

Wish this fùcking shitcùnt year would end already

 

[El Chico de Natura]

I did my P7 biography on him and my country project on Argentina. The GOAT.

 

[Jelle1880]

Holy shit man, this is a genuine shock to me...

I know he wasn't the healthiest, but 60...

Great of all time

 

[BlueFlagHigh]

My all time favourite non-Rangers player.

Loved his mentalness.

RIP

This .

I don’t think I can take much more bad news .

 

[granthamger]

What a player, sleep easy genius.

 

[Superfurryanimal]

Still a shock even with his lifestyle.
Greatest ever.

 

[grangemouthbairn]

First saw him play against Scotland at Hampden in 79.... outstanding.
For me hes been the best ever.
He just wanted that ball at his feet.
Defenders would kick him but his only thought was to keep on his feet and get that ball.
Sad day for everyone who loves football.
RIP Diego

 

[drgriffen]

Argentina to observe three days of mourning.

 

[Dalmuirbear]

Lifesyle he had was lucky to make 60 - some player but his treatment of Ricksen leqaves a bitter taste

Jesus f*ck, is no thread safe from folk that need to show how staunch they are.

RIP El Diego, the best to have ever played the game.

Football legend Diego Maradona has died at the age of 60.

The former Argentina attacking midfielder and manager had successful surgery on a brain blood clot earlier in November.

It was then announced he was to be treated for alcohol dependency.

One of the greatest players of all time, Maradona was captain when Argentina won the 1986 World Cup, producing a series of sublime individual performances.

He played for Barcelona and Napoli during his club career, winning two Serie A titles with the Italian side.

 

[Clicker]

Privileged to see him score his first goal for Argentina, at Hampden in 1979. What a footballer.

RIP.

 

[Macdonsj]

wonderful player - in his pomp, the best ever
people will elevate Messi and C Ronaldo over him due the 94 world cup etc
but on talent alone he was the best ever

that goal in mexico forever etched on the mind of anyone who saw it

 

[dougiem]

R.I.P. Diego best football player ever imo

 

[TN8]

Ach what a shitter.

 

[Scottya86]

[Alvor]

He looked ill for years but bigger than a legend

 

[JRM244]

Life is Life .

 

[BSPECIAL]

Argentina will cry for him.

 

[tommyboozo]

RIP Diego, one, if not, the greatest

 

[Nelka]

The greatest. No-one will ever persuade me otherwise.

 

[Stokeloyal]

Naples will be in meltdown too.....

 

[WinkieWATP]

One of the greatest to participate in the game we all love.

 

[NE Cornerbear]

Never a favourite of mine but an exceptional player who I was fortunate enough to see play at Hampden. Sadly his lifestyle has caught up with him. RIP.

 

[JamboReid1874]

Talent that would be supernatural level in any football generation.

A great loss to the sport and Argentina will be mourning.

 

[Jase]

Another one of footballs flawed characters.

 

[sw26]

Sad news.

The recent documentary on him was incredible, he really was a larger than life character.

 

[Caesar]

Was hoping it was a typo at first & Madonna was dead instead

RIP GOAT

 

[QueensferryCR3Bear]

Proper football legend. Rip.
