First of all he was a cheat and the fact he says he never cheated shows that he was NEVER a true sportsman.... Has for his skills as a footballer, he was made to look good by the fact other players didn't really challenge him.. Unfortunately football has been ruined by cheats and players un-sportsman like behaviour..... I stopped wasting my money on going to watch football 25 years ago.. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If any player didn’t challenge him it was because he couldn’t get near him. Dead right, he won 86 practically on his own. Shilton couldnt outjump him for his first (how?) and nobody could even foul him let alone tackle him for his second. If he had scored that handball against the Germans he’d be lauded as a saint in this country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

He was incredibly fit in 86 and to leap by beating Shilton (Maradona was 5 ft 5) just shows his ability.  He also had extremely strong muscular thighs, that I always thought was one reason he was so hard to challenge off the ball.  https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/44332377560347305/   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
