CJGJ Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Glad to say I was there and the football hype was for once justified..... With the body of a bull and the balance of a ballet dancer, Diego Maradona glides through the Scotland team at Hampden Park in 1979 to give Britain its first glimpse of a talent that would simultaneously seduce and outrage the world. Maradona was just 16 when he was first capped by Argentina, an indication of the sometimes miraculous abilities that lay within. By June 1979, when he appeared in Glasgow, he was 18. It was an unforgettable occasion for all involved. Not only did 62,000 Scottish fans get to see a global superstar in the making, Maradona also scored his first international goal. It made it 3-0, after Leopoldo Luque had scored the first two. Arthur Graham got a late goal for Scotland. The final score was 3-1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
copa-mundial Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 R.I.P. Diego. One of my childhood idols. Watched many a video of his play. An incredible footballer. Arguably the 'best of all time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tazio Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Bloody hell but the rodents are appearing on social media already. People willing to celebrate someone’s death because of a handball decades ago. A great player and a hugely flawed human. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bajthejambo Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Maradona made football look easy at a time when it was a lot more difficult for a player of his ability than it is now. RIP. Unfortunately, it was inevitable the way he chose to live his life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EagleJambo Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Yes - was at Hampden as well in 1979. He looked a player even in those early days. But then, most of the Argentina team did in those days.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stirlo Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Very sad news. As I was growing up in the 80s he was considered the best player in the world by a mile.
