Fruity Posted November 26, 2020 Share Aggeno Sad news according to reports Maradona has died Incredible footballer..larger than life personality.. One of the players who made me fall in love with the game And few loved the game more than him 20201125_182857.jpgStrangely enough, today marks 30 years since my dad died, and he was big into soccer.

Gen Posted November 26, 2020 Share Strangely enough, today marks 30 years since my dad died, and he was big into soccer. I remember him speaking about Maradona when I was a lighty.Yeah same here.. growing up it was the name I heard most....many happy memories sitting next to my dad as a little girl the excited watching Maradona play and the fear of Maradona when he played against our teams, the eighties belonged to him...many times scoring "Maradona" goals in the backyard.[emoji1787] Fruity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted November 26, 2020 Share Think many who don't know might want to read this, Naples weeps, the stadium will be renamed to honour him(apparently laws prohibits it while someone is still alive.. I don't know how accurate that is, I could never understand they hadn't already done it.. so makes sense)and apparently schools are closed today. https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN28538A?__twitter_impression=true https://twitter.com/en_sscnapoli/status/1331881654995062784?s=19 Edited November 26, 2020 by Gen RoddieJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted November 26, 2020 Share Heartbreaking scenes in Argentina.. He is lying in State at the Presidential Palace and thousands (probably more than thousands if I look at pictures)of mourners lining up to pay their respects. Don't think everyone outside Argentina quite grasp what he meant to the people. https://twitter.com/CasaRosada/status/1331891453983944706?s=19 https://twitter.com/elchiringuitotv/status/1331894062719373313?s=19 https://youtu.be/j9USSsGpfhA Edited November 26, 2020 by Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted November 26, 2020 Share The hand of god. RIP. Had it all. Lost his way a bit.I know many people will fixate on the Hand of God, but 4minutes later he did this He was the epitome of a troubled genius, I prefer the second part of that descrption gets the airtime.I wonder if Thierry Henry's legacy will go the same way.

The field was his and his alone. People who only point to that goal never watched him play. Edited November 26, 2020 by Gen RoddieJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, forgot the extra spice as this was fresh after the falklands war Gen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, forgot the extra spice as this was fresh after the falklands warIndeed ..he was just unplayable. He spoke of the symbolism of that game with reference to the Falklands war in that HBO documentary released last year.. Worth a watch BTW. https://youtu.be/SFdypI0w-oc Edited November 26, 2020 by Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
