He's been dead to me since 1986.Dead.
I would normally say RIP, but not going to shed any crocodile tears in his case
I have 2 others.2 obvious memories of him - the hand of god, and that time he ran up to the camera off his face on coke (allegedly).
was a big character though
Baggio nearly won it for an average(ish) Italy in 1994......until he lost it for them in the final.I have 2 others.
The 'other' goal when he ran through what seemed like the whole England team.
Also in the same World Cup, Argentina were an average side but won it due to Maradona. I have never seen a WC won sue to the brilliance of 1 player.
Paolo Rossi in '82 as well. Carried Italy to that win.Baggio nearly won it for an average(ish) Italy in 1994......until he lost it for them in the final.

Poor man’s Ramon Diaz.
Getting old gracefully was never in the life plan for Maradona. Larger than life, controversial, talented, mad as a box of frogs.
Regardless of whether you liked him or not, he’ll be missed.
Which is perhaps what puts him above Messi and Ronaldo.I have 2 others.

That World Cup in 1986 and the season Oxford had that year, what a childhood.
RIP Maradona
