Not 100% yet, but seems drugs and stuff finally caught up.

Still one hell of a footballer in his time.

Wonder how many kilos he consumed in his lifetime.

Lots of stories flying around the Twitter that Maradona'a died. The Express seem to have picked it up but nothing on BBC etc yet.

A genius that quite possibly would have been regarded as the greatest of all time had it not been for the madness throughout his career and life. His death is awful news but unfortunately not as shocking as it should be

RIP to a sporting Legend

Lived a long time considering the amount of powder he's done in his life

60 is no age to go, he's actually gone before Pele despite being from different "footballing generations", hell I'm near that myself. Regardless of the infamous hand of God, he is still one of the greatest to ever grace the game. RIP

A great footballer. Thoroughly enjoyed all his goals against england.

 

[adam cool dude]

Would have been the best ever if he could have controlled himself. You would imagine he would have had more support in today's generation.

Not feeling it, the guy was a complete arse.

I honestly don't think he would have made anything of himself in todays generation. He would have been on far too much money far too young and he clearly had a destructive side to his personality. Huge money at a young age with the media looking to shaft you at any opportunity.

Absolute genius and mad man, RIP

Have to agree tbh.

Whilst undoubtedly a huge talent of the game, he was far from a role model.

I was unsurprised rather than sad to hear of his premature death.
