I wondered for a moment whether he'd got Bernard confused with Stanley, but no | |

You could probably have got them both in the same pair of shorts back then? | |

Probably in the same leg
Fullbacks would've had sympathy with turkeys | |

He was a superb footballer, and a human being. People happy that he has died, or at best indifferent to it should really have a word with themselves. He got away with a handball due to inept refereeing, the sort of thing that happens in many games . Thierry Henry did the same against Ireland. |
Not only did Henry do it against Ireland, he was next to one Paul McShane when he did so. |  | | |

Agree with this
He was dragged up in pretty much third world conditions and his personality would've been shaped by that, and hence why he was loved by the people of Naples (not just fans, there was a documentary on him not long since - will probably be repeated now) since they recognised him as a 'streetfighter' so to speak, or one of their own
He could handle (oops, no pun intended!) football much better than the fame and fortune that came with it but he's not alone in that and given his background, the drug abuse is no surprise
The football world would've been poorer without him, so it goes without saying that his death is a loss to it |
Started watching it. Watched 1st hour its 2 hours long on channel 4 player. |  | | |

It only has to be observed what the people of Argentina thought of him to gauge his worth in a nation of football lovers. He lay in state for the last three days and the country was given a three day leave of absence in order to file past the casket. As John Lennon once sang, a working class hero is something yo be' . |  |

But didn't Henry confess his misdeed to the ref, immediately after to which the ref replied "You're not the referee" ? |  |

Not sure the article quite says that. Does it?
Although it makes a very sound point about players not being confronted by the media in respect of cheating. | |

I didn't say it did, I said it suggested Henry did not tell the ref, given his version in that article.
He told Richard Dunne:
