    Scored the best goal I've ever seen in the same game as the infamous Hand of God

    @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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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".

    Agreed, it's not a bad comment. Now imagine it was written by Guy Williams because Lineker is publicly more woke than him. I suspect the comments relate to the commentator more than the message
