Good player who really didn't need to cheat, however, he did and I have never forgiven him for that.
His lifestyle will undoubtedly have led to his realtively early demise at 60 years old.
RIP Diego.
Died of a heart attack at home age 60.
Drink and Drugs can’t have helped nor can surgery for a sub-dural haematoma.

R.I.P. Diego. One of the greatest players I've ever seen. What a character. Funny how most people touched with a bit of genius in them have troubles in their lives.. Scored one of the greatest World Cup goals against England and punched another in. Good lad.
I hardly ever speak ill of the dead, but in this case I will make an exception.
Hell is waiting for you mate.
Great player but had many personal problems.
Yes, he cheated in a World Cup match against England, but I wonder how many players HAVEN'T cheated in their career?
Harry Potts and Jimmy Mac have both admitted to diving for instance.
This dude was on a different level.
No sympathy whatsoever. As for being the Greatest, I don’t think so. Talented undoubtedly, but a cheat to go with it. Great players don’t cheat.

he did so much for the industry.

Like Alf I cannot understand some folk with talent spoil it with their lifestyle, good player but not in my list on 59's thread, a man who is is another cheat being Thierry Henry, great player but what lets him down was his hand ball cheating in an international match (and I cannot stand him as a person for some reason). that's one reason there is not any present players in 59's list as most nowadays are Prima Donna s and genuine soft arses.
R.I.P.
