Was missing Cuthbert and really hoped he'd come back. :(

Eric Hall, kinda annoying, but kinda interesting agent type.

Divisive character, definitely. Moments of controversy, absolutely. Genius with a ball though.

I just read that gawd I love Maradona, must be the Scottish nay anti Engerlund supporter in me.. that solo effort goal in Mexico 1986, sublime.

RIP Diego, may your angels lift you into the hands of God.

Certainly he had many faults, but such a wonderful talent that brought joy to millions. RIP.

😔. Loved maradona such a player.

.

Another tortured genius. I never really got over the hand of god thing and his antics at USA 94 weren't that impressive. No doubt he was a brilliant footballer though.

The best. RIP Diego.

definitely one of the greatest players of all time. RIP Diego.

RIP Diego Maradona.

This is worth seeing, if you haven't.

It shows how a photo can be deceptive. Was actually was a pass from a free kick. That’s the wall. Think the guardian had an article about it a while back. Still you don’t have to look far to see how good he was.

Understood all that when I posted but it’s a handy visual representation that opponents had no idea where he was going, even less how to stop him....

The great film from last year is on More 4 at 1.15am tomorrow.

As the Green Cross Code man Dave Prowse was on tv almost every day during childrens tv in the 70’s. But it was playing Darth Vader that he became an international star. Sadly his West Country accent wasn’t seen fitting for one of the most evil men in the empire.

Does your mum do gags about his light sabre when she's had a bit too much wine at Christmas?
