So sad to see this.  A hero from childhood- used to be fascinated with the things he would do with a ball while getting lumps kicked out of himself.

Something else both died the same date.

A different class RIP.

A brilliant player forever wrapped up in the memory of 1986. That brilliant goal against England and his tour de force against Belgium in the semi. It was his tournament. The greatest I've seen. His genius, charisma, his troubled personal life and his humble origins endeared him to the Neapolitans in a way that few if any others have managed at any club. RIP Diego

Literally nobody in the world of sport, maybe even outside sport, has been or ever will be worshipped unconditionally in the way Maradona was and is

He was quite simply a God in Argentina, Naples and in most places in the world that are not England, Brazil or Milan

The earth revolved around him

I didn't see enough of Diego in club football to have a firm opinion on comparing him to the current greats.

But I've watched almost every match in every World Cup from 1982 to date, and his tournament performances are the best I've ever seen.
