It will be divisive this one.
I've never known whether to be in awe of him or hate him. I'm a bit of both I guess. I can obviously appreciate his footballing ability, as can anyone who's ever watched him play but there will be a lot who simply cannot forgive him for his cheating and his drug use. |  |

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. | |

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 |  |

His performances in the 1986 World Cup stand alone as the greatest ever on the biggest stage. |  |

That photo of him with the ball at his feet surrounded by about 7 opponents in a World Cup game (Belgium ) is a classic.
Second only to Pele for me. |  | | |

Agreed re the photo. It was like a scene from a Bruce Lee film where they’re all lining up to be beaten up. | |

If Shilton had come out with a bit of proper commitment, he would have flattened him and won the ball at the same time. |  | | |

Just put the hand of god to one side...
A brilliant footballer possibly the greatest. What he was capable of on a field we have rarely seen since and definitely not on the regular basis he delivered.
RIP Diego you were a one off for sure.. 50% Angel and 50% devil!
The best footballer in my lifetime. | | | |

A stunning footballer in his day.
The Maradona documentary is compelling viewing esp his time at Napoli highlighting the clubs association with local mafia organisations who were quick to exploit the fella.
The footage of his time there on and off the field gives you a small insight into the pressure he was under..it was enough to push anyone over the edge.
A footballing genius...RIP | | | |

The documentary is brilliant and I'm currently reading Angels with Dirty Faces by Jonathan Wilson, which is an in-depth look at the history of Argentinian football. It goes into some detail about the pressure Maradona was under even before his first-team debut for Argentinos, which surely played a huge part in the off-field problems he would face later in life. I thoroughly recommend it.
Before my time, but no old videos I'd rather watch than those of Maradona. A genius. RIP. |  |

Surprised he lived as long as he did.
Bet he had quite a bit of fun on the way though getting through the devils dandruff. |  | | |

"On the left of God was the Archangel Samael, also known as Lucifer the Morningstar.
It is for this reason that the term ‘sinister’ (which means left handed) has a negative meaning in common language (refers to something evil) while dextrous (meaning right handed) has more positive connections. It is also the source of a lot of abuse of left handed children in schools. There have been beliefs related to left handers being witches and in schools in the past it was common practise to force children to use their right hand for writing - sometimes by physically restraining the left."
He might not want it back reading that? |  |

Barry Davies referred to the incident as the finger of the devil in interview this morning.
Either way, one hell of a player. |  |

The handball goal should obviously been disallowed and if nobby stiles still been playing he wouldnt have scored the other one either. Having seen him waltz paste half of the englad defence nobby would have put him on his back side and taken whatever punishment the ref chose to give him. | | | |

I’m sure Peter Reid had been booked and knew he was facing a red card if he touched him
He could have only brought him down and had no chance of getting the ball that’s why he stopped. |  |
