El Diego, gone?

I had Argentina in our school 86 World Cup sweepstake. Thanks Diego.

 

Love his swagger. The amount of times he is fouled in that video, and the state of the pitches. How things have changed.

Throwing a load of shite out today and found this old Napoli shirt I bought in 1991. No place in town sold any other footy shirts apart from Liverpool or Everton. Bought it in St John's Market. It was fucking massive on me when I first bought it. It's just slightly baggy now...

This one made me feel a bit emotional.

Maradona’s every touch in the 1986 World Cup. It’s remarkable stuff.

 

 

Remarkable indeed. Never seen a player kicked to bits like that and yet still have both legs attached at the end of the game. And the donkeys he was playing with - that Valdano "effort" over the bar with an empty net in front of him!

Brings a smile to the face watching that- and that's surely what football should be about.

Love this.

Look at the shape Diego was in back then. Sad that that level of fitness was few and far between after his career ended. What a player.

It's mad he was in such great shape some of those pics considering his frequent weight gains.

 

Relapse is a bastard.

Great video here of himself and Messi.

Taking a shot with his arse.

Putting topspin on the ball like a tennis player. As a lot of his contemporaries have said, the ball obeyed him. 

 

Poor Tevez is a bit out of his depth

Napoli have renamed their stadium after him.
