It's an argentinian TV show, and Maradona wasn't fat yet...so i would say 90s ,as Maradona issues with his weight started in the early 2000s when he was already retired from football, and in the mid 90s he was playing in argentinian football.I was going to bring up this video. How old must Diego and Pele been there ? They made that look so effortless. Professionals in their prime would struggle to keep it going for as long as they did with so little movement. Top top class and a testament that he had a natural ability.
What a beauty. Better words to explain what I feel, that whether he was the GOAT or not as a player, he sure was the GOAT in his influence over the game and its global appeal.This is a really good tribute from Neymar
Before Pelé, “10” was just a number. I’ve read this phrase somewhere, at some point in my life. But this sentence, beautiful, is incomplete. I would say before Pelé football was just a sport. Pelé has changed it all. He turned football into art, into entertainment He gave voice to the poor, to the blacks and especially: He gave visibility to Brazil. Soccer and Brazil have raised their status thanks to the King! He’s gone but his magic remains. Pelé is FOREVER!!
Wow. What a video. I didnt know any of that. Sigh...i really need to see more footage of the guy. That video makes him seem the incredible player that an older generation adore.Tweet

In 1995/96 or so he was already a beach ball, this is after his second gastric bypass I think.It's an argentinian TV show, and Maradona wasn't fat yet...so i would say 90s ,as Maradona issues with his weight started in the early 2000s when he was already retired from football, and in the mid 90s he was playing in argentinian football.

It's kind of insane how clean his technique is. It's not something you would expect of a player from that era.
This.Rip legend. You will forever be synonymous with football.
