RIP he's the legend

I was at this game at 4.20 he's so quick Dave Watson has to chop him down.

 

Don’t forget our own Gianfranco was a prodigy  of Maradona at Napoli..... I can’t find it now but there is a great video I once saw comparing their styles and they where very close. 

just ask Julian Dicks who still has bouts of nausea due to his head is  still spinning.

I am of that generation and to be honest the man was a football genius. I am sure if Paul Gascoigne had done the same thing at Italia 90 and gotten away with it England football fans would have applauded his cunning and creativity. Yes he cheated but for f**ks sake what kind of sh*t referee was officiating that day, what inept linesman failed to see it. His second goal against England showed a real gulf in class. I’ve moved on and my only regret about him was I never saw him play in the flesh. 

Only saw him once when he came to our place with Barca in 1984 and, to be honest, he did not have the best of games.
