What is a wold famous cheat. ? There must be numerous incidences recorded. Maybe Roy could give us some the vast evidence ?____________________
Don't know about 'wold' but a world-famous cheat is a cheat known the world over.

I'm surprised you didn't know that tbh.

Yes, there are numerous incidents recorded. (quite why you have asked this is beyond me)

Maradonna...the most famous cheating incident in football.
Henry....another great player ruining his reputation by blatant cheating (if you know your football or if you're Irish.)
Armstrong...drugs
Johnson...drugs

Has the mod got the guts to apologise to Lady c?

[LadyCG]

Oh, thanks Ed.

So has Argentina declared a state of mourning? I haven't had chance to look at news or anything today.

[Bobbisox1]

3 days while his body lies in state Lcg

[LadyCG]

Well whatever we've thought of him over the years, to them he's a hero.

[royfromaus]

I think asking if a mod was going to apologise was a valid Q

Ridiculous removal.

[LadyCG]

Oh ... is that one of the removed answers?

[fiveleaves]

One of the best players ever, wonderfully gifted.
Yes he had a few character flaws but who wants to be a goody-goody anyway?
People will be watching goal number 2 Argentina vs England 1986 in 50 years time, but they wont be watching Harry Kane's 6 feet tap ins.
Maradona was paid to win football matches for Argentina etc. He wasn't paid to be a nice person.

[royfromaus]

I guess there is no apology forthcoming.

[royfromaus]

I will once again be reporting this thread.

Lunacy.

[LadyCG]

Is someone trying to derail this thread?

Perhaps if we stay on-topic.

Just a thought...

[anneasquith]

With his alleged life style he was lucky to live as long as he did . A hero for Argentina .

[ichkeria]

Sure he was notorious for “that” goal - and a lot more besides.
But it would be a shame if the wonderful talent was ignored.
