I remember quite a long time ago maybe twenty years Pele sold his shirt from 70 WC final for 50 grand. Sad. No idea what the value of it would be but there’s a wee back story to the blue shirt Argentina wore that day. https://www.google.com/amp/s/qz.com/713688/the-story-behind-the-jersey-diego-maradona-wore-30-years-ago-for-his-hand-of-god-goal/amp/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Double post but I don't care, so much outstanding Maradona content out there. Find someone in your life that looks are you the way Maradona looks as Salt Bae. Also for a man used to handling white powder he is incredibly shit with the salt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I think that what made Maradona so great was the fact that he was a flawed hero. Your Messi's and Ronaldo's nowadays, they all project this extremely clean image that's tightly controlled by brand managers etc. It's hard to like them because they don't feel like real people - you know that everything you know about them is fake. Maradona didn't give a f*ck about any of that. He was who he was, warts and all. And that's why he was the People's Champion, and why he was the greatest footballer of all time - not just because of his incredible talent, because others have also had that. But because of what he represented and how people could relate to that.I get your point but Messi certainly isn't clean-cut, the tax dodging w****r. More England baiting. I say this all the time. No surprise the English conveniently forget about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 The third-best player of all time behind Messi and Ronaldo. Pele can get in the bin, he counted goals he scored playing five-a-sides with his mates FFS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo and Messi have grown up in an era where the rules have offered them far more protection than Maradona was afforded as well as the fact that Maradona shone on the world stage whereas neither of those two have. Messi has had a cushy club career surrounded by the best players his league could afford whilst Maradona single handedly won the league for Napoli and the WC for Argentina. Plus Messi took growth hormones whereas Diego lived a drug free existence. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some fucking respect. There is an entire sub forum to argue about which wealthy clownshoe is best without interfering on a superhero thread. This is a man that won Serie A and a World Cup with less fancied teams all because of him dragging them to it while completely off his tits on various non performance enhancing drugs and shagging anything that moved. He did this while constantly winding up the English. He basically lived every young Scotsman's dream. Its fair to say I loved the guy. Here he is celebrating scoring at the World Cup while pondering if Rip Fuel is possibly a bit illegal. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
