Hand of god !!! Excellent player and a screwed up life full scandals after football.
R.I.P.
Pelé was a much better player at his time. World Cup 1958 was amazing - 6 goals at age of 18. world champ 58,62 and 70.
Yeah, at the very end of his career, and no disrespect to your league at that time but it would have hardly been elite competition.Pele played in New York.
There is this fantastic documentary I watched on a United flight to the UK simply titled Diego Maradona. It was incredible spectacle, made me enjoy the flight immensely. I think HBO put it together.I don’t think there’s many these days who would consider Pele to still be in the top two for the fact he never played outside of Brazil.
Whilst I’ve personally preferred CR7 over Messi purely for the work he’s had to put in to go toe to toe with greatness I think the two Argentinians make up the top two all time for me, with Maradona slightly edging it for being able to do what he did during a more physical time and poor pitches.
Unfortunately there’s an entire generation that know him for his other antics; hopefully as time goes on he’s remembered purely for his artistry on the football field.
RIP Diego.
Don't know if that was pretty clever, or just lucky.I don't follow sports in which you're not allowed to use your hands, so...
