I think even more poignant is that Maradona has died on the same day as Castro did in 2016, they had formed a very close relationship once Maradona retired.He said Of Castro when he passed away:A lot of similarities between him and George Best. Man, did they both shine bright though.
I was a kid, but still remember the look on my cousin's face when he saw that goal. Talk about being in awe....Barry Davies said it about his second goal in against England but it kinda sums up the man's life - "you have to say that's magnificent".
I should hate him but I never did, even as an 8 year old in 1986 when he made me cry.
Yeah it really would and maybe means we are destined to be managed by Pochettino eventually who had obvious love for Maradona in that interview on Monday Night Football from a few weeks agoThat would have been a hell of a ride!
My dad watched him live. He said you had to experience Maradona live to understand it. He couldn't explain it in words.RIP. I was born in 84 so I never really saw him at his best, but my father-in-law is adamant he's the best player that ever lived.
Yep...my lifetime GOAT.My dad watched him live. He said you had to experience Maradona live to understand it. He couldn't explain it in words.
He was unbelievable. The speed he ran with the ball, the change of direction and an amazing range of goals... just a beautiful player to watch.Just how good was he? This should be an appreciation thread to celebrate his life and career imo.
Didn't he singlehandedly take Napoli to Serie A when it was in its pomp? Love to see Messi do that. GOAT achievement for me.
Sorry if I am late but...Remember when he blacked out all the pictures that have Aguero next to his grandson in his house? What a man.
Aguero was married/liaised to his daughter, but they divorced. They have a son. Probably whySorry if I am late but...
did they not get a long for some reason?
Ahh I knew Aguero was married to his daughter but I had no clue they were divorced.Aguero was married to his daughter, but they divorced. Probably why
Aguero used to be married to his daughter - they divorced in 2012 or something and I guess their relationship wasn't good anymore.Sorry if I am late but...

Fun part is that on one picture there is Aguero and his son (Maradona's grandson). Dad is blacked outAhh I knew Aguero was married to his daughter but I had no clue they were divorced.
Thanks For the info mate!
Reminded me of this ...Mate just told me a story that Micky Hazard recounted in a pub a number of years ago.
Hazard played alongside him at Spurs and Maradona one one occasion did keepy uppy perfectly with his left while signing autographs
Appreciate it mate!Aguero used to be married to his daughter - they divorced in 2012 or something and I guess their relationship wasn't good anymore.
Just checked, they weren't married, only liaised. But have a son and were together for years, probably on the way to marriage. Can imagine the separation wasn't great news for all of them.Ahh I knew Aguero was married to his daughter but I had no clue they were divorced.

Sound like a Maradona thing to doFun part is that on one picture there is Aguero and his son (Maradona's grandson). Dad is blacked out
what are you talking about? i thought he was a saint, an inmaculate human beingRemember when he blacked out all the pictures that have Aguero next to his grandson in his house? What a man.
I would hope the relationship somewhat improved over time but who knowsJust checked, they weren't married, only liaised. But have a son and were together for years, probably on the way to marriage. Can imagine the separation wasn't great news for all of them.
That son is football chosen one. Dad Aguero, grandad Maradona and godfather Messi .Just checked, they weren't married, only liaised. But have a son and were together for years, probably on the way to marriage. Can imagine the separation wasn't great news for all of them.
Think they were even married. Anyway, Maradona hated him, that is for sure.I would hope the relationship somewhat improved over time but who knows
Can't be that ridiculous an opinion surely?There is a reason everyone in Argentina laughs at you, when you suggest Messi is as good or even better than Maradona.
Not for non-Argies. But you gotta remember, Maradona won a World Cup with them, a couple of years after the Falklands War.Can't be that ridiculous an opinion surely?
