I can't quite get my head round this... It reminds me of my recurring nightmare that i've left my current job and have gone back to work for Sainsburys - it keeps getting more vivid the more I experience it...
Maradona.. arguably up there amongst the 2 or 3 best players in the world ever. But also the b*stard who destroyed a 10 year old's dreams in the summer of 1986.
I got into football late in my childhood... literally Mexico '86 was the first football I paid an interest in other than the '83 cup final and seeing that handball allowed was devastating for me... I couldn't understand why it happened and there was no logic.. I cried for hours. It was a harsh introduction to me that if football guarantees you anything, it guarantees disappointment. The next day i saw the other goal he scored.. all geniuses have flaws I suppose...
I should be over it now of course (!).. but the thought of cheering and applauding the dream destroyer is a bit alien at the moment. Does it slightly stick in anyone elses throat? - (or up their nose - pun intended!)
Is there a fence anywhere local?
