    100% this happened (at The Sainsbury End). I was stood level with it and the Norwich players rightly went mad. I liked Crooks but went off him after that. 
    I posted quite a few pages back that Viv Busby punched the ball in our net when we played Stoke in the league cup back in the 70s. Pretty sure Garth Crooks was playing for Stoke as well so I think it's fair to say let's blame Stoke City Football Club for promoting the punched goal across the football world. Maradona is innocent.
  • Said last week that it's a shame there are no fans at games. The atmosphere and send off for Maradona would've been incredible in a full Bombonera.
  • I would love to have seen Nobby Styles marking him.

    this is Diego in that game getting battered time after time 
    Can just imagine the size the chip woulda got to if DM had have used his hand of god against one of the other home nations. He'll always be remembered as a cheat by the majority(?) of England supporters and I dont understand how others cant accept that.

    Think it's worth mentioning the amount of pats on the back the Scots got from quite a few England fans, over social media the other week an all.
  • Tribute at the copa America last night.
    Argentina's first competitive game since his passing
  • Would've been immense if that had been done (as i guess originally planned) in front of a packed house in Boca's stadium.
  • Couldn't they just have had a dignified minutes silence? 
  • First minute felt a bit "look what we can do" rather than a tribute, but the bit with him doing keep-ups was class.
  • Great video and tribute but how real was that ? 
    The hologram of him doing keeping the ball up isn’t possible is it ?

    VERY generous gift by Lothar Matthäus, who has donated the shirt worn by Maradona in the first half of the1986 final to the Argentine Football Association.
  • Watched an interesting documentary about him and his life on prime.

    I had no idea about his Italian love/hate connection.

    Whatever anyone's got to say about him, he did absolutely love football and he was an extraordinary talent.
    .
    His private life was not so private and he made mistakes, but he was only human and we only live once.

    If he had modern day TLC psychological backing and help, then it's likely he would have had a more lengthy fufilling career.
