Diego Maradona's 'rebirth'

[Nollaig O Muracu]

Fixed.

If Kenny even dreams he's in that company, he better wake up and apologise! (and yes, Kenny was a great player, but there are levels to this)

I joke. It was just fresh in my mind as that best segment was in the recent Dalglish doc.

Blessed to have seen some truly great players in my lifetime.

Maradona was a god and above them all.

I must read it! His Barca book is excellent too btw. A decent aount of it intermixes with the Spenish civil war IIRC (Long time since I read it).

Also, Barca signed Di Stefano first, but Franco interfered and said if he must play in Spain he would have to swtich between one season at Barca and one at Real. Can't remember why or how that ended up with him just going to Real, but football history might have been very different had Franco not interfered. Because Di Stefano by all accounts was in the same league as Diego, Pele, Messi et al.

i’ve been meaning to read that alright.

on the hand of god, i've read it three times. the last time i read “el diego” along with it. lol there’s some difference in burns’ version done through interviews and painstaking research and maradona’s official autobiography where i’d say the publisher just said “throw it down any way you want there, diego”.

If you want to read a book about another legend read this. Probably the best footbal book I've ever read.

Maradona was a god of football , he really had it all, with the refereeing protections of today he would be unsurpassed i think.

1987 me and herself happened to be in london and the rest of the world team played an english league selection in a centenary game at wembley.
He was a hero of mine football wise so i got us a few tickets.
He came out and did the most amazing warm up ball skills etc id ever seen.

Lineker played and scored that day too, here he alludes to that warm up.

Can't figure out why it never worked out for him at Spurs
