Deid - Argentinian Football Legend

[sheepcrooky]

Reports coming through that Maradona has passed away at the age of 60. Hopefully incorrect, but if true, RIP you absolute legend.

That’s a legend.

Shocking news.

He was a player right enough.

RIP min

RIP min

If everyone on this forum all lived to be 100 years old, collectively we would still not have had such a fulfilling time as he did.

Scored his first international goal against Scotland at Hampden.
RIP - fantastic talent.

Some folks class this as goal of the century, and what a goal it is too, certainly gives Archie Gemmill's one v Holland 1978 a run for it's money for that accolade

Seriously though, what a talent, perhaps a controversial character with his away from football issues, but on the park and throughout his complete playing career a fkn genius and arguably the best player ever.

RIP min and thanks for the memories.

I was also there and even for a friendly it was a great watch. Scotland were actually quite good (not sure why i remember Iain Munro having a particularly good game?). But Argentina, and Maradona in particular, were a joy to watch. Strange but it was almost like it was staged as there was rumor of this 'wonderkid' and it was like a globetrotters set up.

I think it was just being in the presence of genius that made it seem fake.

Today is 50 years since Peter Shilton made his debut for England

Nobody is talking about him

Maradona, the scurge of Shilton even in death.

You couldn't make it up
