Lovely words from Lineker there.
Top class from Lineker. Maradona had it all.
We must remember eva would have had many of her friends from the 3rd reich at hers.Will this be on an Eva Peron scale, or will COVID restrictions mean he won’t get the same level of send off?
Great clip, thanks for posting.
He absolutely would have and I think lineker would know that fine well.I'm sure Maradona would have had a wee chuckle at that.
They say it's a team game, but he won Napoli 2 Serie A championships largely single-handed.
I think he edges it by winning a World Cup single handed ( no pun intended ) and for winning an Italian league with what was basically a mid to low league team before he joined them..
Fantastic player.
He didn't. There is images and footage from behind which proves he didn't.A genius of that there is no doubt but the more I see his goals v England, on a loop on all news channels, the more I'm convinced Terry Butcher scored the second. Can't seem to pause it enough to scrutinise as much as the first goal has been.
As a kid in 86 I thought his game in the semi final v Belgium was far better.
Legend.
I was there that day too mateBest of them all. Saw him playing once when he scored his first ever goal for Argentina.
Stood out a mile on the pitch that day.
Sorry to see him go.
What an outstanding photo. Never seen it before.If there was ever a "one man team" it could be levelled at Argentina and/or Napoli.
Absolute genius. Best ever? Debate for a different date.
Maradona is in this picture?Translates as:
"This remains one of my favorite wall paintings. That of Diego Maradona in Naples"
He would have approved!
The excitement surrounding Maradona outside of Argentina had been building since the World Cup in ‘78.I was there that day too mate
My dad took me to my first Scotland game, I was only 8 and my lasting memory is everyone raving about the 18 year old number 10 that tore us apart.
It wasn’t till a few years later when I was a bit older that I realised that wee guy they were talking about was the mighty Maradona.
I actually feel privelaged that I got to see that.
This photo should be on the wall of every changing room in world footballSome brilliant pictures going around. What an image.
Looking out on Hope street from the Central Hotel 1979. Haven't seen all the thread I apologise if already posted.
That kind of money to a person with addictions is a disaster waiting to happen. No doubting his talent and never the less sad to see his passing.Not really a surprise given his apparent lifestyle but still sad news. A phenomenal talent.
Looking to see if the Toby Jug is open yetLooking out on Hope street from the Central Hotel 1979. Haven't seen all the thread I apologise if already posted.
Its incredible isnt it? You wouldnt get those scenes or 3 days of national murning for a president or a royal in most countries.Seeing those images in Argentina is crazy...
People genuinely being hysterical in their grief, riot police in attendance just in case,...
We've got a poster on here who put Gazza in the top 5 players of all time mate and another who reckons Gazza was better than Michael Laudrup...Did anyone hear that celtic fan that phoned the go radio forum that said he was a good player that was up there with Jimmy Johnson in terms of talent?
They never fail to surprise with their level of delusion
He was an amazing player but I'm glad you posted in response to the "won Napoli the league/Argentina the World Cup singled handed" thing, and I can't see the picture you replied to but I assume it's the one showing 4 or 5 Belgium players seemingly lining up to tackle him, when in actuality it's a wall from a free kick that's just broke?I think the Seville Calculator is in play here with the amount of people claiming to have seen him at Hampden...
Already said it on this thread newsreaders were breaking down announcing the news last night. 1 guy could barely get the words out.Seeing those images in Argentina is crazy...
