EddardStark Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Did anyone watch the documentary film on C4 last night? Three hour watch but captivating stuff. What a talent but what a disaster in terms of his life choices. So much pressure on to carry the expectations of family, city and country on his back.

Read and watched loads about him down the years, great footballer but a horrible human being unfortunately. Nothing is ever his fault, the drugs the whoring the cheating he always turns the tables and makes himself the victim. Missed 5 penalties in a row for Boca costing them a championship, then blamed it on a witch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddardStark Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Maradona the player took an unbelievable amount of punishment on the pitch. He always seem to take it and just get on with it. In later years it looks like he can barely walk.

I'm sure someone on here, might have been Charlie Endell, claimed to have recognised him in a London boozer a few years back and had pint with him. As for Maradona, finished watching it tonight. Not as good as Senna, but a well made film all the same. Thought it could have covered more of his early career and less about his Italian decline though. Oh and 1980s goalkeepers were terrible!

(not because of the drugs) aye - some of those tackles in Serie A. one of the many things that stood out for me was during his Napoli days, when his cocaine intake and partying may have been at a peak (certainly in terms of when he was an athlete), he was still training like a beast. some of those work-outs and circuits he was doing - wow.

Yeah, I’m a big Messi fan (not a big, messy fan). He’s as electric and magical to watch on the pitch. But Maradona dragged Argentina to the World Cup and a non-top-five Napoli to the Scudetto.
