Unprecedented. Uncanny. Unbelievable.
Happy Thanksgiving to ALL of you. Fortunately most of us had the opportunity to watch Diego Maradona play. Many of us remember him for his ‘hand of God’ goal against England, but what I remember is the other goal, where he gathered the ball in his own half…..and you know the rest.
ESPN quickly put together this piece on him – if you have not seen this yet, it is very well done. https://www.espn.com/watch/player?id=04a5feca-6aa0-4fb6-bb7f-757a8f4a1cbf
I have watched Diego’s warm up before the ’89 UEFA Semi many times…..and with his passing, I can’t think of a more appropriate send off. Three days of mourning in Argentina and up to 1.5 million people expected to gather for his memorial. Diego….was Diego.
RIP Diego Maradona.
Adios. Enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend.
