To me he's a football genius, his absolute love for football was there for all to see at any age , he was basically a big kid. An incredibly talented kid what he did off the field I didn't really care about most of the negative questionable stuff was well after he had finished playing. A lot of footballers go off the rails once they can't play.

I didn't say I detested more I understood and that other fans need to understand that mentality.

Loved a quote from someone yesterday which went along the lines of Julius Caesar appointed a guy to walk behind him to remind him he was only a mere man but Maradonna had thousands behind him telling him he was God.
