    I still haven't got round to going to watch the movie but hopefully I'll do so at the weekend.

    There have been quite a few articles in the media on Diego recently focusing primarily on his time at Napoli.

    I've met a few Neapolitans and they revere him like a Saint.

    Would you agree that what Diego did to Napoli eclipses his exploits with Argentina in 1986 and 1990?

    It wasn't what I originally put, I thought I better edit as Robert is a gentleman.

    Hmmm... New member, might be a sock account.


    I'll welcome him anyway. Welcome Robert, people from Cheshire are the best people even if you're only from the Eastern half.

    That's what I thought but I'm sure Luv has seen the film.

    There's zero chance that Maradona was a Chelsea sock.

    Coke head, get it right. Jimmy Greaves, George Best, Paul Gascoigne, Tony Adams - being a **** up appears to be no barrier to sporting excellence.



    Might go and see this movie tomorrow as it goes.

    He wasn't a Johan Cruyff either, or a Gerd Muller, or a Zinedine Zidane, or a Messi or Ronaldo.

    He was the Diego Maradona, the only one of those - a one off, a genius..

    One of the most detestable characters in sport (and there's stiff competition for that), he now just comes across as a big baby whenever I see him.

    Outstanding player, certainly one of the top 10 players of all time and possibly the best. Given he dragged below par teams down paths of greatness I'd argue he's better than the likes of Messi but really you're splitting hairs as they'e both fantastic.

    Will not be going to see the film though, cannot stand the bloke. I'd honestly prefer to watch a James Perch highlights reel.

    Great player

    Brits are just conditioned to hate the Argies and especially Maradona
