"What sad news. I lost a great friend and the world lost a legend. There is still much to be said, but for now, may God give strength to family members. One day, I hope we can play ball together in the sky."

Reports from Argentina that Diego Armando Maradona has died. By some distance the best player of my generation and arguably the greatest of all time. After a blessed but troubled life, hopefully he’ll finally find some comfort in the hands of God. #RipDiego

RIP Diego Maradona. You'd pay to watch him warm up, let alone play. Played the greatest pass I have seen live, off-balance, right-footed to Caniggia to score against Brazil in Turin at Italia 90. Time after time, Maradona performed magic with the ball. Thoughts with his family.

Was just a different, much wilder time. When Argentina won the 86 World Cup they were basically living in sheds, shaving outside, Maradona snr cooking the barbecue. It was all will all talent

Maradona dies on the same date as George Best ... terribly sad news

RIP Diego Armando Maradona. The first time I ever realised that the greatest footballer in the world was a thing. Watching him as a kid it felt as if he'd been dropped from another planet & watching the old footage today, it doesn't feel much different.

Probably the most iconic video of him playing imho.

Maradona, what a player.
