    Diego Maradona 1960-2020

    A wildly talented, spectacular, sad and often misled, triumphant yet tragic existence..... England fans have a special, darker place in their hearts for him (perhaps understood better now re his streetfighter, street football background), but how much pleasure he gave, so often....

    A troubled man, a glorious footballer, jayne. In Dalry Road, just along from Tynecastle in Edinburgh, there's a great Italian Restaurant called 'Piizzeria 1926', named after the founding of Napoli Football Club. The place is covered in Maradona items - strips, posters...a true hero of their fans. They will be in mourning this evening. Sad to see him go.

      I named my first and only gerbil after him. (Before I lost interest in football around the age of 14).

        Seeing the best players play live has always been one of the joys of football for me. Of the players that I would put in his class, of whom there are very few, a handful at most , Best is the only one I ever saw live, and I was too young to really appreciate him properly.Would have loved to see him play.
        One can only imagine the reaction in Naples, and elsewhere.

        I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

        I am not a number, I am a free man.
