Diego Maradona Appreciation Thread

In fairness hoddle had already passed the ball to an Argentine player. Argentina had possession when hoddle fell over.
Besides Batista wasn’t that sort of player.

The film just started on Channel 4

Pure class from Leo

A nicer tribute would have been him turning up for Maradona at the 2010 World Cup.

That’s a beautiful jersey. Some story somewhere during the week about Maradonas time at Newells Old Boys. He only played 7 times for them, but at one of the games a 6 year old Messi was the mascot who did tricks at half time.

He is very jealous of the way Maradona is adored by the Argentina fans.

Tis unreal. Maradona didn’t play in many bad ones

Pathetic

I am after seeing clips from the Argentina England match from 1986.

I think both of us are correct. Lineker scored close to goal from a Barnes cross but what you referred to correctly was another Barnes cross where the Argentina full back Olarticoechea miraculously cleared a ball off the line with Lineker certain to equaliser.

It rang a bell so I checked it out.
