I’m English to me he’s the greatest ever without question Played in an era of difficult pitches and defenders who just wanted to smash him from behind The modern players are so protected with defenders getting yellow cards for minimal tackles and then playing on ice for the rest of the game He dealt with defenders who hacked him down got nothing He was a rascal but you couldn’t help but love him as a footballer I remember watching the 86 game and devestated but you forgive genius

Without a doubt the best I ever saw. So diverse, so complete, humble, a true true teamplayer, important t the back, midfield and attack. Best passer, best dribbler, one of the best freekicks, great rushes at great length, just no one ever did that but who knows, one day, someone will be better. I hope so because it is nice for kids to witness such a miracle. Messi did that btw at least to some degree, being easily the best of his time but ws not that good and also lacks the personality to connect that well to people.

Thank you, Kate, for your fantastic delivery... your emotions came through. I am Argentine, born over 50 years ago, and saw the whole of Maradona's career, then and in later years, thanks to the magic of the Internet. I have wept when Diego passed away, and hearing your words got me going again... I'm crying, as he is and always be sorely missed. I'll always love you, Diego!

Maradona's level of controling a football was a gift from God unmatched by the greatest players that ever played the beautiful game. He was born to play football. Messi is brilliant. Ronaldo is brilliant. Maradona was special, in a league of his own, a level above the greatest of great players. His control of a football was supernatural.

@@AguantelDiego86 Messi was great, no doubt, he was probably the best of his generation. Maradona was the greatest of any generation though, he did things with a ball that i've never saw any other player do. He would keepy-up a pair of socks like it was the easiest thing anyone can do, but we all know how insanely difficult that is, and watching him keepy-up a golf ball with the back of his heel is just crazy. I saw footage of Maradona practising free kicks from about 25 yards out and every one hit the post on purpose, that level of accuracy and control is mind blowing. Maradona had the greatest skill and control i've ever saw, even watching him training was mesmerising. Brilliant.

The greatest world cup goal he scored against England was even more impressive when you hear the English players describe how bad the pitch was to dribble on. The turf had only been recently laid and it was in squares, so players were struggling to balance because the squares of turf would slide apart when a foot was planted on them. One player likened it to running on carpet samples. It basically made running with the ball near impossible, yet Maradona managed to dribble past the entire England team to score that goal.

What a deserving a beautiful tribute to the magical peoples football hero Armando Diego Maradonna.

I was very fortunate to see Diego in person at Giants stadium when Barcelona played the cosmos as a twelve year old it was an amazing experience to this day at 51 years old that memory will live with me for ever, and when I found out that Diego was gone my heart was in my stomach as I'm sure people around the world also experienced, R.I.P. Dieguito.

You should be so proud of yourself for delivering one of the best television tributes to Diego that I think I have ever heard. Well done Kate.

Diego..the master, king, legend, God of football.

No other players that ever kicked a ball could’ve done what Diego done for Napoli and Argentina in the ‘80’S .At a time when in Italy the defending was phenomenal, every coach trained their team to win 1-0 , Diego was phenomenal, Messi and Diego pure Genius, thanks for the Magic Diego

I've been alive for all the world cups since the one in Mexico 1970' and just barely born after the England one in 66'. I can safely say I've not seen a personality so spectacular and memorable, like Diego. He had it all. What a rollercoaster ride of a life he lived.

There never was, never is , never will be anyone like him. Nowhere near. And you can keep your stats and stick them where it never shines. Even the Gold World Cup trophy should read on the Winners …..1986- Maradona.
