[Legend]

Simple question really I would have said no..before I watched this video clip..

Now I can't wait to see this player in action...

Oh for all of the viewers who believe, like me, Maradona's goal against England in '86 was the greatest of all time...[watch the way the ball bobbles all the way to goal]

Also, anyone remember this? Maradona 'warming' by dancing to the song 'LIFE IS LIFE' for Napoli in the semi final of the UEFA cup?

It is simple, this guy is th greatest player that has ever graced the football pitch. No arguements. Not Pele, not Eusebio, not Best, not Zidane, not Platini, not Beckenbauer, not Ronaldinho and certainly not Rooney.

Diego, you are the greatest

There are hundreds of top drawer goals that can't be seperated, but Maradona's is the overall greatest. honestly to run that distance, at speed, with the ball at your feet. that's exceptional skill. that's probably the most difficult thing to do in football.

don't talk to me about how the England team opened up and made it easier....what a load of crap ( only a Rangers fan would say something like that with their English allegiences lol), Maradona still had to perform that dribble.

what a special talent Maradona really was. the debate over maradona and pele rages on. all i can say is , in my lifetime and having seen with my own eyes, Maradona's the greatest player of all time!!!!!!!!!

maradona by a mile for me! though ronaldhino has the potential to be the greatest since maradona! pele was a great player,but didnt have the same individual class maradona had!

ive been talkin about this guy for about a year! but nobody knew who i was talking about lol! Maradona hails him potentially the greatest since himself! barca player too!

Messi has been dynamite for Barca until he was injured. I hope [as a football fan] that both Messi for Argentina and 'Roonaldo' for England are both fully fit.

The world Cup will still be great without them but every neutral fan at least will want all the best players on show.
