Love him or loathe him he was the GOAT. Can't think of anyone else who single handedly (no pun intented) won a World Cup for an otherwise average - at best - side and won two championships with Napoli who up until his arrival were the whipping boys of Serie A.

Way more personality than the likes of Messi and Ronaldo, too. Was at one with the ball, in complete control.

There was no doubting his flaws as a person but football has lost arguably its greatest ever player

Some of his mistakes were all his. Some of his mistakes were the result of unbelievable levels of pressure from a very early age. I still believe there was a good person behind the persona he sometimes sheltered behind. It was his way of dealing with the pressure, emotion, threats, injuries etc.

There will only ever be one El Diez. RIP

I really don't think he was the GOAT. Pele, Cruyff, Messi and maybe Ronaldo have very good claims to that and they didn't get smacked up, take performance enhancing drugs (as far as we know) and squander their talents. The BBC maintains that he was being treated for alcohol dependency, a very flawed character.

There's a great documentary about him (on Netflix I think) and it's very balanced about him but he was no saint.


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

He made a lot of mistakes in his personal life, but there shouldn't be any doubt that he was a good person. Watch the Netflix series of him managing in Mexico if you haven't already, that'll confirm it for you.

It’s very difficult to compare Messi and C.Ronaldo to the rest. The game has changed so much. Neither LM or CR have ever had a serious injury. Maradona had to evade career ending tackles every week and sometimes he failed...which is wear the drug abuse first started.

I’m not sure he squandered his talents. From the late 70s to 89/90 he was the best player in the world by a huge margin, in an era of Van Basten, Platini, Rijkaard, Matthäus, Zico, Gullit...

Look at what he achieved with an unfashionable Napoli and an otherwise average Argentina. If he squandered talent it was only because he had so much more than anybody else.
