    Probably the greatest Argentinian that has ever lived.

    Certainly their best footballer

    Sabella - Footballer > Coach > Manager of Argentina
    Maradona - Footballer > Cheat > Druggie > Fat Druggie Clown


    I think that proves it conclusively

    On his debut, I as talking to a guy that had seen him in a practice game the week before. “What’s he like?” I asked. “Unbelievable” he replied.

    He was right, with a decent team around him he could have almost reached TC’s status of legend. The problem was back then, players just took him out of the game, the way things are now he’d be almost unplayable, fantastic little player, the one shining light in that sorry season.

    wouldn't it be great to have another Sabella in the team now

    For those that didn’t get to see Sabella,think of a more experienced and consistent David Brooks
