Totally agree, just like that other flawed genius George Best, who died exactly 15 years ago to the day. Spooky.


Yes but George wasn’t a cheating b@stard was he?

You say that, but a string of old girlfriends and his ex-wife probably thinks differently.

Yes but you don’t need to be a footballer to cheat like that!

Never liked the bloke but you can't deny he was a great footballer, when he wasn't cheating.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles


Maradona would have had a hard time winning the Ballon d’Or, because he wasn’t European. Non-Europeans weren’t eligible until 1995


That might explain it then. You live and learn!

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles
Just to be clear...

“Druggy, alcoholic, cheating, Argie” football genius = bad

Druggy, alcoholic, cheating, English Prime Minister of the U.K. = good

I think some people have some warped values


Not me racist to boot.

Said above that he virtually won the World Cup single-handedly.  

He DID win the World Cup single-handed!!  

The SundayTimes recently had a big article arguing that Pele was the GOAT.  The article dismissed many myths that he scored a lot of his goals in friendlies etc.

Great as Pele was, I am old to remember him on TV and he was primarily a goal-machine like Ronaldo.

Maradona and Messi created magic and were (are) magicians over a long career.

Hard to judge players over different era's. They were all outstanding.

The greatest player to ever play the game. End of.

A footballing genius. Captained Argentina to their only World Cup win on foreign soil in 1986. And probably more impressively he almost single handedly dragged a terrible Argentina side to the Final in 1990.


This - and people who reference his cheating take a look at Owen's dive in 2002 World Cup finals v Argentina
Cheating illegitimate???

An amazing footballer, superb dribbling skills, tough, strong and in an era when the opposition were taking it in turns and getting away with hacking you down at every opportunity.

Certainly had his struggles mentally, physically, and addiction wise....would he have been worse without the drugs ?  Would he have been better without them ?  We will never know but his legacy is forever tainted.
