The best player I saw in the flesh, Landsdown Road 1980. Liam Brady played an excellent first half then Maradona came on in the second half and showed us what world class is (aged 20)
Can’t believe Maradona has passed away! Know it’s not racing related but I’m in such shock.
Why are you in such shock? He was a bloke who’d been on the gear for virtually his whole adult life. No surprise he eventually has a heart attack from it.

RIP to him anyhow but it’s hardly a shock.
If anything I'm shocked he made 60! Lived off bugle throughout the 80's and 90's, loved a drink and was an absolute animal. 60 was a bloody achievement in itself!

Who wants to live until 80 with millions in the bank. Give me Maradona's life any day of the week
I would definitely live a George Best lifestyle if I was that successful.
You boys are all young. You’re not a real man if you didn’t waste weeks of your life completing Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis as well as Monkey Island and all its sequels.
Hahaha, just seen the one earlier. Amazing. And that's crufts.
The original joke made me laugh too.
Gotta laugh when you fall off a sofa.
I love this quote
I agree re Ryanair as his target.
Perhaps I'm on my own here because forgiving two bad runs take some doing, but I think DDS is a decent price in the Ryanair at 22/1
Something clearly wasn't right at the Festival, and to me he looked to get tired in the Scloer (he has underperformed plenty of times on debut for me not to be too worried).
He's 7 going on 8, went off 2/5 for a QMCC, is a multiple Grade 1 winner, has Cheltenham form figures of 111152114PU, including 2 festival wins, and he's 22/1 for a race I'm confident he'll end up in.
When I look at the profile of typical Ryanair winners they tend to either be a proper Grade 1 horse, or one of those battle hardened festival regulars (that haven't always won previously at the festival - but run 2 or 3 times before winning this).
Maradona was one of the best footballers ever, he was incredible. A true rock and roll icon too. He did well to get to 60 given the amount of drugs he took and being obese.
It’s a shame he spent so much of his career and life under the control and influence of the mafias and crooks who bled him dry, he was the Elvis of the football world, achieved loads and made loads of money but would still be alive if he kept better company
A genuine football legend though and fantastic entertainment, when he scored that brilliant goal at the World Cup in America and ran screaming to the camera is still the best football celebration and moment I’ve seen in football.
I think Defi is gone, I think he will have a
season like he’s trained by Colin Tizzards and then flop in the Ryanair if he gets to Cheltenham
