    The documentary on Maradona is possibly the best sporting documentaries I've watched.

    The parties and off field antics were something else
    Incredible how the Napoli fans turned on him as well after Argentina beating Italy.

    • Providing ability is retained and there's nothing wrong, where do people think DDS will end up this season?

      • 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)

            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.

              Crufts is a wonderful reminder that Cheltenham is only a week away! And that's Crufts.

              Now get that dog out my sight

                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!

                  He'll definitely end up on the gear. like Maradona.

                      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.

                        No disagreement from me, I'm not a real man.

                          Ryanair, 95%.

                          I think it might be Courage actually.

                          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.

                            Yeah, what's that amazing quote..... "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and cars. The rest I just squandered."

                              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).

                              He smacks of both, big time

                              • 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
