Ok, sorry but thought that was what you were implying.

no worries, it was worded a bit unclearly to be honest.

Rolls Royce footballer my absolute hero and one of the people I would like to have dinner with .

Pure thirsty energy

So, “cheat” is trending on Twitter. It really is a cesspit sometimes that place.

Wasn't as good as Franco though was he?

 

[ajsccfc]

Maldini has somehow become more handsome as he's aged, it's really not fair.

Better food though.

Just seen an article highlighting it's also 15 years ago today that George Best passed. Both went way before their time should have come

George Best got given extra time tbf.

George Best got given extra time tbf.

And it was still too soon.

Some of those pitches he played on make him my best tbh!!

He and Maradona were both supremely gifted and a joy to watch if just on grainy highlight reels. Both also had their vices and couldn't keep away-but they wouldn't have been who they were without the flaws as well as the good stuff

 

[Monners]

The actual best player ever. He was a genius and to manage to still do it through all his problems is a credit to him. He took the Scudetto and UEFA cup to Napoli and the World Cup to Argentina almost singlehandedly (no pun intended).

If you haven't watched the documentary on him please do it.

Absolutely agree

The film is brilliant. Comes across as a normal human being

 

[ajsccfc]

It's on in the wee hours tonight on more4 so should be on catch up tomorrow too

Fuck Peter Shilton.

Fuck Peter Shilton.

Brexit means Brexit.

Think it’s fake. If not someone should fuck him up.

Its probably real, the guy is a fukin idiot.

 

[ccfctommy]

It's fake. Shilton hasn't tweeted anything and the abuse he is getting on twitter for no reason is in poor taste.

 

[Nick]

Christ, people think that's real?

 

[Evo1883]

Wasn't as good as Franco though was he?

I think he was, the Fact he played left back for a few years takes away from his centre half years in some respect

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Franco just dictated everything. And would shoot on sight.

I could never agree, I absolutely loved watching Baresi on football italia. Will always be the best centre half there was for me.

Where can I find it?

apparently being shown on more 4 tonight so should be on all4 tomorrow

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

sad, bitter old man

Aye, what a wanker he is

Look at the poor fuckers having to deal with him

Pretty certain Belgium beat Argentina in this tournament opener from Spain '82.

 

[Macca]

Christ, people think that's real?

scarily so

 

[Macca]

Just watched that goal again such fabulous control. Probably best to ignore the pub players he went past but nevertheless. I remember as a youngster feeling the inevitability of what was going to happen the moment he got the ball. Given that pundits now encourage players to fall to the floor I think we can forget one moment of madness in terms of the other goal

Let’s not forget the state of pitches back then also

Football God. Simply the best ever. No question or argument.

 

[ovduk78]

Me and a lad I worked with were going to go down to watch him play in Ardiles' testimonial at WHL in 1986 but at last minute decided not to. Kind of regretted it ever since.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

Ardiles didn't join spurs till late 70s did he? You've got a couple missing years somewhere mate......

...haven't we all!
