Kept getting in his own way

GOOD PLAYA INSIDE FIELD SHIT OUTSIDE AS A HUMAN BEING

All of you insecure untalented people focusing on the fact that he did drugs: you are repulsive. You are like lil bitches saying "her boobs are fake..."

He was good, so good and so fast. I was only a child when he played, but I remember him playing, and how I enjoyed his matchs. But now... there's nothing of the Maradona before.

drug user!

Hmmm I know he is a great player.. but not the best !!! I like more Pele is a lot of aspects he is better ...

  for all of the off-field drama this man generated he is without question the transcendent player of my generation

I will let him provide the justification, some people say this is the greatest goal ever...

Are we discussing talent and sheer skills on a football field or are we chriticizing an unfortunate manipulation of a gifted individual. As honed skills goes Maradona is the greatest footballer of all times. I am indeed a Pele supporter but will not deny the fact that maradona on field display of soccer skills cannot be rivaled by anyone.

He was the best. No pele and zidane can ever come close to his skills and ability as a player.

can we say crack-head, the man played 99% of the time high and coked up

How do you spell GREATEST , the real spellings are:
MARADONA

I'll just throw a one since I smell some multi ID stuff going on. KILL IT!

HAND OF GOD BABY!

HAND OF GOD BABY!

Left foot was great and his Hand of God wasn't bad either.

Several million dollars worth of talent with a head not worth the price of a Big Mac.

Clearly retirement hasn't brought him any more maturity. Sad.

To be a great striker, there needs to be something "uncontrollable" in the character.  You see it in many of the players listed.  USA strikers generally possess too passive a character to possess the creativity and pure, blinding speed and aggression needed to make something out of nothing, such as George Best, Diego, Pele, Garrincha and Gerd Mueller. 

Coming from similar roots as Pele, it's still a wonder that they're so different, but shared a passion for scoring.  Brazil is in a lull, but the coach won't recognize that the answer to his problem is not Adriano, but in diminutive Robinho...a freakin' genius in our time.

was the best i ever so

gooooooooooooooooood

the legend

that's the best player of all time you heard!!!!!!!

he is the god of soccer.. pele was as good as his team..

He is the best player i ever saw.He make a ball sticked at his leg.

I think when one sees highlights and also some full game of each player how he dominates, one cannot avoid to declare maradona as the most skillfull and efficient player

he is awesome!

ONE OF THE GREATEST SOCCER PLAYER I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!

he is the best player ever! full stop. every1 no's it.

i seen the hand of god but also in the same game we saw the feet of god

greatest player of allll time, no doubt about it!!

Maradona's name may leave a bitter taste in the mouth of many English or Italians but only beacause we find it so hard to be forced to vilify someone with such awe inspiring talent. An alcoholic, a drug addict and a cheat, many may claim that Maradona's fall from grace was due to the tremendous pressure the world heaped on his tiny shoulders. This may appear to be a perfectly valid excuse, but does he really need one?.. His arrogance and need for gratification through self indulgence are what set him apart from the rest. And a browse throughhis gallery of frankly ridiculously good goals, and near misses, is enough to convince his harshest critics that even for his sheer audacity alone, Maradona deserves to be considered alongside pele as the greatest of all time.

Fat pig he is now. a junk and he is almost dead i am waiting for that moment.

Arguably the greateest ever- his left foot was the finest ever but the golden boy is a victim of a world that expected too much of him and is now a recovering junkie and alcoholic.
