Diego Maradona Rip

[LadyCG]

Suffered fatal cardiac arrest.

[ummmm]

And I actually also agree wit Ellipsis.

Sergio Aguero from Man City is his son-in-law. And he came on as sub for City on Tuesday on the day of Maradonnas' death. Families eh?

//Mozz - we're not talking about George Best though.//

I know, I'm just highlighting the fact that while Maradona is being villified by some here, Best was being fawned over by the same people.

[LadyCG]

Best never cost us the World Cup.

George Best was a very talented player..he had his demons..off pitch he was devastatingly charming and had the most beguiling eyes I have ever seen...met him socially a few times when a WAG...

[ummmm]

I have a picture of George Best on my living room wall.

Maradona gloated about his hand ball.

[murraymints]

he had that Irish twinkle in his eyes Ummmm.... Besty that is...Maradona was an exceptional player revered by millions it is a pity he lost the spirit of sportsmanship that day.. and gloated as he did...not terribly gentlemanly amongst gentlemen...

[ummmm]

I used to have a picture with the quote 'I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.'

It fell off the wall though. I don't support ManU, it's my OH.

I suppose, no matter how arrogant and unremorseful Maradona was, the Ref was hugely responsible for allowing the goal. Even when presented with the evidence he was too arrogant to back down.
