Love it. I think Messi is probably the best footballer of all time, but Maradona was on his own level. Not as consistent, but for pure talent and drama he was something else. A genius footballer fully deserving of all the hype.

The fact that he played for us (albeit in a testimonial), wears the shirt, and visits the club fills me with so much pride. In football terms he’s the legend of all legends, and despite all of the anti-English sentiment in Argentina, we’re probably the one club in England that he feels a genuine affinity towards.
 
He was a brilliant player, but has been a loose cannon for the most part of his life as well. I admire the likes of Sir Bobby Charlton and Johan Cruyff a great deal more.
 
Just finished listening to Golazzo which is hosted by James Horncastle this week,View in iTunes it's a must listen to if you want a Maradona fix as the entire show is dedicated to the man. This is because Asif Kapadia (Spurs fan too!!), who directed Amy and Senna (two brilliant docs), is now putting the finishing touches to his latest film El Diego. Can't fuck wait to see it.
