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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
