Greatest player of all time for me. Messi wouldn't of lasted 5 minutes in Maradona's era.

RIP.

More talent than any other player in history.

Couldn't stand the fella through my youth. Felt angry and cheated over the whole hand of god thing.

Feel hollow about it now. He was another that was unable to handle the pressures and adulation and a crazy drink and drug fuelled lifestyle was his way of dealing with it.

Will he be remembered for his skills or his cheating and drug use.

Watch the youtube clips rather than read the lurid headlines on him. It will help you remember him for his unbelievable talent

What a player, always thought Pele was better but in reality Pele was surrounded by other great players, Maradona took teams full of average players (Argentina and Napoli) to greater heights.

As a human being terribly flawed but as a footballer one of the most gifted. Such a shame the first goal against England as the second is still one of the best you will have seen.
