Diego Maradona..

Seen Diego at Hampden in 1979,not sure if it was debut,but he scored his first goal for his country in a 3-1 win,the crowd were in awe watching true genius from an 18 year old,at the end end of the match Diego and his team mates got a standing applause,a guard of honour from the Scotland team,as the fans chanted Argentina,Argentina.
RIP Diego Maradona,thanks for the memories.
He began his professional career at the age of 15
The greatest in the beautiful game, in my humble opinion
 
Now I live in England. Some of my closest friends are English, my partner is English and my 2 wee girls are 50% English so I dont particularly enjoy English bashing, tarring them all with the same brush and all that but my god!! Some of the comments I've seen down here are downright disgraceful. One act, ok, it may happen to be one of the most controversial and recognised acts in football history but still. And its all some people down here remember him for. The guy was a genuine footballing icon who achieved so much....but to a the English fan he's a cheat and that's it...even Shilton can't let it go.
