GOAT discussion - I say Maradona 21:54 - Dec 30 with 3330 viewsStuartSlater

I think 86 Maradona was as close to football perfection as I have ever seen... Messi is incredible just feel Maradona's peak has been unmatched.

You obviously never saw Carlton Palmer at his peak.

Maradona quite literally often single handedly (yep every pun intended) won his teams their trophies

Imagine how good he'd have been if managed like Messi instead of all the coke & wh*res....

Messi for the consistant brilliance. A boring but true answer.

It's still Messi for me and I'm 55 having seen Maradona at his peak. His consistency and all round contribution whilst playing in an ageing and failing Barca side plus dragging Argentina to another WC victory is difficult to dismiss. Maradona had what felt like a 5 year purple patch which was admittedly excellent however the drugs and partying does take the shine off.

Greatest of all time or your time?

Maradona’s up there but past players before 24 hour sports coverage and the internet are often overlooked like Puskas, Edwards, Pele, Cruyff, Di Stefano, Beckenbauer, Best, Garrincha. Then there are other modern greats like Messi and Ronaldo etc

Spot on.

I may be old but Puskas, Edwards, Pele, Cruyff, Di Stefano, Beckenbauer, Best, Garrincha have to be considered in GOAT terms.

Of course I have seen most of them play. (Where's the silver haired lothario emoji when you need it?).

Impossible to compare players of different generations. The player that I enjoyed watching the most was Thierry Henry.

I’d loved to have seen Duncan Edwards play, if he hadn’t died at Munich there’s every chance he would have been England captain for 1962 and 1966 and football history would have been quite different.

Impossible to compare different eras.

Maradona was a genius on dodgy pitches that I'm not sure Messi and Ronaldo would have copied with.

But on the other hand Maradona only had to go past beer bellied defenders, not athletes (no offence Terry Butcher!)

The best I have ever seen for natural ability was George Best. The fact he played alongside Charlton and Law , made that United team very special.

The 2019 'Diego Maradona' documentary is essential viewing in my opinion. Really made me realise how incredible the guy was, even if a total lunatic at times and clearly high as a kite for a large part of his career, either through legal (painkiller) means or... otherwise. If he had had the protection from refs that the players (rightly) get these days, how many goals would he have scored?! Nearly had his leg amputated on the pitch via opposition tackles (might be slightly hyperbolic there) on more than one occasion.

In an age of animals, heavy kit, rubbish pitches he was simply unplayable.
