The Hand of God RIP

[Dimples]

Fantastic player in his day but a cheating cunt and coke head who spunked his life away .
Incredible once in a lifetime talent RIP

yep

Spunking his life away or having a fucking blast?

The 86 WC was the first international tournament I followed. He was just amazing – no one even came close.

RIP - Best player I ever saw.
In addition to his incredible skill, he was brave and a real leader.
He delivered big time playing in mediocre teams - WC in 86, two Serie A titles, WC final playing on one leg in '90...

Cheating? He handled a ball in an important match - big deal - get over it - blame the ref and the linesmen..... savor the second goal...

And think about what happened at OT at the weekend and what has been happening there for years - since Fergie arrived - that is what I call cheating

Great player who almost single handed won the 86 WC for Argentina. RIP Diego. Condolences to Kun and his son.

Well said, had the shit kicked out of him as you say deal with a bit of payback. A sporting great.

Exactly. How come Thierry Henry is lauded as a saint in this country.
Didn't he do exactly the same thing for France against Ireland in the Play Off to qualify them.
If your face fits and all that. Unbelievable player, the other goal against England that day was one of the best ever. RIP

Henry just did what the vast majority of footballers do - seek an (unfair) advantage a la Mane, Salah et al.
For once Keane was spot on with both his observations - FAI's response and Delaney spouting about honesty.
FAI's response was an embarrassment total cringe and it has since been proved that Delaney is dishonest.

Henry is a prick

Henry is a prick

Just like Cantona, Evra, Pogba, Nasri, Anelka, Ginola.... they are everywhere in football but a disproportionate number seem to be French

I always link the Marseille French as dodgy fuckers. Benzema trying blackmail Valbuena sums them up.

Not in the adore him camp sorry.

RIP.

Always blamed Shilton for that goal six foot goalkeeper v five foot five midget, there should only be one outcome, Shilton let us down in 1990 v Germany also

Couldn't agree more.

And I'm not totally convinced his second wasn't a Butcher og

Could have flattened Diego no second goal ,not even got a talking to!

No other footballer has ever delivered the hopes of a nation on his own as Maradona did in 86 and with Pele will influence the global impact of football ever.

Took a shit team to the top of the world, almost single handedly, and then almost did it again next WC with a worse team. He was a flawed genius, but a genius nonetheless. RIP Diego.

A quality player for sure, but he was no Matt Le Tissier.

And also did it with Napoli.

Unfortunately he was just before my time regularly watching football but I can think of another player who single-handledly took teams to such great success.

Never once saw him bad mouth, give out to or make a team mate feel inferior. On top of all the outrageous gifts he had he was all about the Team. It was never about him. Best ever IMO.

VAR have reviewed the 'hand of god' Maradonna incident and have awarded a penalty to Man Utd.
