ewerk 6,200 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 The Maradona film released last year is well worth a watch if anyone hasn’t seen it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alex 5,629 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) I remember watching the quarter final against England in 86 as an 11 year old. I was with my dad and his brother and it was either at Blue Flames or what was the Ministry sports ground (now the Newcastle training ground) with a room full of people, all wanting England to win. Mainly I guess what you’d call everyday working class lads, probably with little love for Maradona or Argentina. And when he scored the second goal people just spontaneously applauded. Terry Fenwick should’ve brought him down like. Edited November 25, 2020 by Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isegrim 1,803 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I remember watching this on TV as a kid when he was warming up when Naples played Stuttgart in the UEFA cup. We all tried to copy it in training for ages. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Gloom 2,931 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 3 hours ago, Alex said: Absolute genius tbh. I think him and Pele, in the 20th century anyway, were just at a different level to all the other greats like Cruyff, Best, Platini and so on. RIP Never saw Pele or Cruyff actually play other than the famous old highlight reels so I struggle to compare those but of every player I’ve ever watched on TV in a live game, no one caught the imagination like Maradona. Maybe it was being a kid in the 80s and because it was the first World Cup I remember watching. The cheating cunt denied England a World Cup semi final but every kid at school wanted to be Diego.

Howmanheyman 4,433 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 He was the greatest player I've seen. Impossible to compare different eras but imagine him playing alongside Iniesta etc under todays rules? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
