@antipodean or that other sublime goal he scored in that match.
lol def the coke for me - too young and disconnected from football to have seen him in his prime.

Well, the pumas now have more emotion to pull on Saturday ...
Maradona.
Did exceptionally well to reach 60
Indeed. Surely the equivalent of a normal person reaching 100.
That’s pretty much all I can say on the matter. Fair to say this death doesn’t shock or upset me in the slightest.

Diego Maradona lived a mother fucking life y'all

LIneker copping some grief for his comment:
Deeply saddened to hear that Diego Armando Maradona has died. By some distance the best player of my generation and arguably the greatest of all time. After a blessed but troubled life, hopefully he’ll finally find some comfort in the hands of God. #RipDiego

May have just been poor humour - hope so.
Sadly, Lineker is turning into a bit of an all-round twat

am i the only one who has absolutely no problem with it, think it's a really nice message, and works on a couple of levels?

Haha......wow. Can’t say anything these days without the perpetually offended having a whinge.
I’m sure a tearful public apology will be on its way

No, you're not. I thought it was great

I've been absolutely whooshed. I can't see an issue at all.

I suspect it's the "some comfort in the hands of God" part that's got people triggered. Quite clever I thought TBH.

Yeah, but I didn't see any offence in it? And I agree quite clever.
A lot of people seem to have a hair "trigger".

Nice Kiwi footnote. The time our GOAT bested the great man

Given Maradona's lifestyle it's surprising he lasted this long.
A couple of anecdotes about him.
(1) It's amazing how many Italian restaurants with owners/chefs from Napoli have a photo of Maradona on the wall. He was loved in that city.
(2) My father was lucky enough to go to an Argentina-Brazil football match in Buenos Aires when he was working in Argentina. Maradona was in attendance. He told me that when Maradona was shown on the big screen the crowd all rose to their feet in respect. -
