My tribute to Diego Maradona who passed yesterday.

Nice!

Diego's a big hero of mine, I was lucky to watch 82' and '86 WC matches with him, and that goal with England in 1/4 finals was something else. The goal of the century they say!

WOW! Really? I watched the ‘86 on TV. I didn’t know who he was. That blew my mind!

I mean I watched on TV too, lol. Those two WC still in my memory. In 82 Maradona was just a rising star but not quite a legend yet, I remember he was sent off in one match, red card. In 86, that's when he became a legend, led the Argies to victory. Thats what Messi failed so far.

At that time my dream was to be a pro football player, more than music actually, thanks to players like him.

Wow. I’ve never been athletically inclined. But I went to elementary school in England where I was exposed to football (soccer) before most Americans were.

Yea, thats why I quit, I dont have endurance. I was good for the school yard pickup games, but never made the next step.

Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ scarred my childhood haha. He was the man, though.

I can imagine! LOL. Had I known how universally hated a man he would become I might have called it something else, but watching him speed through on my little color TV in my downtown apartment with a guitar in my hand was too much inspiration.
