Forest_Fifer Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Thanks for possibly the greatest Anti-English Football moment of all time. Thank you, and God rest, El Diez [emoji3590]2 actually in the same game, the hand of God and then him ripping the pish out of half the England team to score again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Maradona working Shilton into a shoot he's never recovered from is absolute peak level banter. RIP, what a drug crazed lunatic/genius he truly was. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 BBC saying he was controversial, was he. Flawed genius would have been my summary, I don't think addiction issues are controversial. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute hero and legend. I think I know what you're getting at he experienced a lot and certainly had highs, out with those his life would've been torture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flawed genius would have been my summary, I don't think addiction issues are controversial. To be fair he was heavily involved with the Naples mafia who got their claws into him, fired shots at journalists who followed him at one point and got up to all sorts of other shenanigans. He was massively flawed and his addictions were probably a major cause of that but it's hard to deny he courted plenty of controversy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not but racking out a line on the bench whilst a game is going on and having your coaching team huddle round you as you ram it up your snouter is probably quite controversial. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Naples mafia pretty much owned him, that's the view I took when I watched the documentary of his life but maybe that was a bit rose tinted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 And to the surprise of absolutely nobody, the BBC made sure to place ’the’ goal front and centre in their tribute to the man Almost 35 years ago and they still aren’t over it. I wonder if Germany’s national tv broadcaster is as obsessed about Geoff Hurst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I don't think I've ever came across a celebrity/personality/footballer that's gave less fucks about what people thought of them, has basically got involved in drugs and made a c**t of themselves time after time etc and still remained one of the coolest guys on the planet. Contrast that with Gazza and George Best. Oh, and a phenomenal player who should have pulled on the Dundee shirt if the SFA and Scotland immigration weren't c***s who thought he'd get on it with Caniggia. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaaaand 15 years to the day since Best died too. 25/11 is a bit shit then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it was just for the one friendly, we never would've seen the end of the it, and for good reason.
