Eh? He's dead.. doesn't get any worse.

I've always had him as my no 1.
Said day for football.

I suppose a few lines of coke would certainly get you in the mood...

Definitely coming up on something there

 

[jon545660]

Kudos for getting as far as 60 though.

 

[Bradley]

Fucking gutted.

I'd recommend looking up the documentary by the same guy who made Senna.

RIP

Yeah, that documentary is great. Really made me appreciate him, given that he's a bit before my time.

A small miracle that he made it to 60 though. He's been abusing his body senseless for a few decades now.

[Alan Hardaker]

Amazing player on his day. Tragic news.

RIP Diego Maradona.

 

[gkmacca]

Great player. I had zero time for the megalomaniac nonsense after he retired, but RIP to the player.

Maradone-a

This.

 

[Whaddapie]

He was once applauded off the Bernabeu as a Barcelona after singlehandedly destroying Madrid... Doesn't get any better than that.

 

[peekay]

RIP genius!!!!

 

[dantes]

Amazing player on his day. Tragic news.

RIP Diego Maradona.

On his day? Jesus. Did you end up getting divorced after he slept with you wife?

 

[Holle]

RIP

*sadface*

badly worded, i usually open these name threads fearing the worst but it’s something mundane. Unfortunately not this time.

 

[6TimesaRed]

RIP genius!!!!

You have to question Shiltons goalkeeping though, very poor failed to make him self look big.... Alisson would have had that

[Red Bird]

An genius of a footballer. That's all.

RIP.

 

[Squiggles]

Maragona

The real tragedy here is Athens missed opportunity to name this thread :
“Diego Mara-goner”.

Wonderful player - apart from the usual highlights, the 2 lasting memories I have of him are :

- ‘82 World Cup - getting red carded against Brazil for kicking a Brazilian player in the balls

- ‘94 World Cup - scoring a cracking goal and running to the camera going nuts with the wildest craziest eyes ever - shortly before getting sent home for cocaine use - fair chance he was off his tits while playing.
