Gary Lineker's finds Diego Maradona in Argentina - BBC

[andvaleli]

wow he looks like shit

[cr7450]

i remember wen i 1st saw maradona nd look at him now

[Lunatic4Bizcas]

"From the Aztec Stadium?" Lineker must be confusing Argentina's 'Bomboneda' where Boca Jr's play from Mexico's legendary 'Bomboneda,' which is the home of Club America and is the legendary Aztec Stadium or 'Estadio Azteca.'

[fuckooo]

@Lunatic4Bizcas No, he's probably making reference to 86 and how Maradona was the main attraction at that world cup. That is afterall what most of the English audience would remember him for, and not his performances for Boca.

[darkdragon13891]

Maradona, Zidane, Cruyff, Pele, Ronaldo (Brazilian) and In my opinion Messi (despite being 23, I know he will shake up the world of football in the upcoming years) are the greatest the sport has ever seen. Maybe Giggs and Figo could just make it, im not sure

[darkdragon13891]

Maradona, Zidane, Cruyff, Pele, Ronaldo (Brazilian) and In my opinion Messi (despite being 23, I know he will shake up the world of football in the upcoming years) are the greatest the sport has ever seen.

[Bucketheadhead]

@darkdragon13891

Zico, Dalglish, Garrincha?

[darkdragon13891]

@Bucketheadhead If I had to pick a team, they would be in it! :)

[xwingclass]

@darkdragon13891 Messi is not in there league. he has to prove it at WC level at the moment he can score as many as he wants in La Liga but the names you have written apart from Cruyff have all won at the highest level. and they all carried the countries team and people on there shoulders.this includes Pele who never played in the CL but when he played for santos he yearly beat inter an Real and the rest.

[darkdragon13891]

@xwingclass That is why i said he is only 23, he still has plenty of time left to prove himself as one of the best and get into their league. If Maradona had not been so envious of Messi then maybe he would have given Messi the right amount of support on the field to score goals like he does in La Liga.

[xwingclass]

@darkdragon13891 true

[cacaaleau]

i remember PLATINI saying few years ago about MARADONA sthing like:

"What ZIDANE's doing with a ball,MARADONA could do it with an orange"

So true !!!

[tompasp]

@cacaaleau rubbish talk. Zidane was a footballing genius like Maradona, that just sounds disrepectful to Zidane's abilities

[PLayAshEFF72]

@cacaaleau

To be honest i think its the other way round, Zidane could do anything. A true magician, Diego was phenomenal but Zidane's brain put him 2 steps ahead of the opponent all the time.

[LuvWestHam]

Best player ever

[MrLagarto1961]

fuck MAEADROGA in the ASS.. He doesn't represent ARGENTINA.. This is nothing but a piece of SHIT... FUck Him...

[AFA10leo]

@MrLagarto1961 he doesn't represent ARGENTINA ??????

you no nothing from football DIEGO IS ARGENTINA

[r1o9n8a6n]

I like how gary shows no bitterness to him and even jokes and asks him which hand was it....haha.

[aunlecram]

Awesome, Also see this theme "Clasico" from Orlando Netti played by "Marcel Jaramillo"...

[jmsa007]

Comparing Maradona with Pele is the same as comparing Messi with Cristiano Ronaldo. Just ridiculous. Maradona and Messi are the best!!!

@diegocapusottofan SI VOS SOS CHILENO PUTO RAZA DE MIERDA JAJAJA VOS NO SOS ARGENTINO JAJAJA

[mmp11]

i love the english accent they added to interviewed people

[gezabethlen]

Good show, Lineker is a bit shy but it shows the world around maradona, the only great player that always stood on the side of the players, thats the great diference with the other, alsow great players.

[hombredelpartido]

england is the most robbed team of all history....ahhah

although they also stole an eurocup in england...

[thenowuk]

Maradona is far and away the most naturally gifted footballer of all time. I'm English and still admit that! anyone who loves football can see how good he was-don't just watch the same old clips-see him playing for Barcelona-unbelievable skill,pure natural talent

[Gerttervill1]

@thenowuk he played better with napoli.

[kumenya]

who knows the song in the intro? 

[18031967raver]

How is the name of the song ( Rio rio rio rio)

If somebody can help me???

[18031967raver]

What you write there for ne shit, solimiansky

[18031967raver]

Wie heisst den der Lateinamerikanische Song der in dem Video zwischen Laufzeit 3:31 und 4:50 zu hören ist ????? Kann mir da jemand Helfen ???

[solimiansky]

@18031967raver song der "Culo Lo Chupas" by Verga en tu Ano

[Nienkx]

Is he the coolest guy ever or what?

[MultiBest77]

Good to see Lineker still respects him. Shame Butcher is such a bitter person. Pathetic really. Many people call Maradona a cheat but what he did was no worse than diving or giving away a foul. He did what he had to do to win the game for his Country. What he did shouldn't detract at all from what a sensational player he was.

[glenclosed]

@MultiBest77

That's just LIneker putting on to protect his goody two shoes image.

Take it from me, he's a wanker.

Smug twunt

[inTHEwrongGENERATION]

@MultiBest77 he was a cheat he was proberly still crying over the argentina getting their ass kick on the falkands he did what he had to do to win the game ye he cheated that basterd he was a amazing player but a cheating drug using basterd he is a fat prick who was jealous of englands glorious history he dserves to die a painfull death

[jayminreed]

@inTHEwrongGENERATION "probably" "kicked" "bastard" "england's" "deserves"  "painful". if you're going to defend england so vociferously, best that you learn to spell english words first?

[tompasp]

@MultiBest77 bull, Butcher is entitled to be peed off, our country got knocked out because he cheated

[tompasp]

@MultiBest77 bull, Butcher is entitled to be peeved Maradona cheated to score a goal against England.

[class66]

@MultiBest77 marodoan was a drug cheat- I dont think we can shy away from this .. no matter how good a football he was. Good on Butcher, who was not a drug cheat.

[MrSammyBwoii]

@MultiBest77 we all remember the 'hand of god#.. what about his sensational solo?

[Strateg0s]

@MrSammyBwoii

I think those of us that love football remember the second goal.

[JenPerdsMonLapin]

@MultiBest77 Now...come on. Maradona may be one of the greatest players of all time, but saying 'he did what he had to do to win' is just disgraceful. He CHEATED, end of story. His solo goal after that saved his honor imo, but still that hand of god was a shame.

[primemoralesno1]

Mrgooseberries....

Please dont even mention Ronaldo`s name in the same sentence as Maradona, who was 10 times the player Ronaldo ever was.

Its an insult to football to suggest Ronaldo was in Maradona`s class.

[johnykoop]

maradona to me is far superior to zidane. maradona singlehandedly won the 86 world cup in an average argentina team

[innit27]

hi you cheatin cunt u thought u were meeting me but actually ive brought terry butcher to beat the shit out of u

[glenclosed]

@innit27

Butcher wouldn't be able to catch up with Maradona, as we saw in '86

[MrGooseberries]

ronaldo was better than this drug- addicted, fat, cheating midget

[solimiansky]

@MrGooseberries how come u cant pick a white man from UK like rooney? hahah u brits suck dick always in the WC,hahaha still crying wankers after 24 years of the rapping, u got raped and still bleeding after 24 years.

[MrGooseberries]

@solimiansky fuck off

How have argentina done since then? They've been crap. Messi did absolute fuck all in the world cup and got spanked by germany hahahahaha.

That almost made England's loss worth it - just to see Germany go on and destroy the argies.

fuck off!!

[solimiansky]

@MrGooseberries like always u cant cheer for ur own team u always cheers for others!!! hahah got raped during ww2, 86, and 2010!! wheres the beloved rooney? hahahhah

[UnionSur82]

@MrGooseberries patetico lo tuyo.. yo no desearia que mi seleccion pierda con tal de ver perder a otra..

[4yoethanhawk]

hes tiny

[carl478]

The best player ever. And also an absolute mad bastard!

[solimiansky]

@carl478 u look at all the genius, Brando, M. Jackson, Einstein, Pollock, Picasso, Kerouac,Mozart all mad, crazy, and reckless

[swatgrox]

the best left foot ever

[KingsWorld2010]

Maradona is the best football player in the fucking world!

[sebapowa]

jajajaj la cumbia de fondo que cabeza, adentro de la cancha es el mejor y nunca va a ser superado.. con la droga le dieron esa excusa para los envidiosos de tener algo para criticarlo!! pero adentro de la cancha todos cierran la boca para decir con la cabeza en un SI silencioso que es EL MEJOR!

[IceLikeMine]

Gary Lineker can speak spanish very well!!

[LoZa182]

@IceLikeMine I'd hope so, he did play for barcelona lol

[manimegalai100]

I love you Maradona.

[Naveen500]

maradona is a heavy smoker, he is not healthy

[machinehead5760]

could anyone tell me where to watch this online no regestering or anything, thanks

[erictheviking871]

its not just the football with maradona its the mans beliefs and pride for his country and the working man .i could not care less about his drug taking politicians do much worse every single day . i respect him very much, which im sad to say can not be said of many of my country men at this time ,there all in the past .

[tirokroketass]

give me coke and i ll be maradona too...

[MrsDelle]

When was this? :) Thank you.

[Soniredhelp]

@MrsDelle 11th June 1986

[ianrkav]

@MrsDelle If you mean when was the game played, that was the World Cup of 1986. If you mean the interview with Gary Lineker that would have been in the summer of 2007. Hope that helps.

[MrsDelle]

@ianrkav Yeah, the interview. 2007? Well, thanks very much for the help! :)

[ianrkav]

@MrsDelle You're welcome:-) Du er velkommen:-)

[MrsDelle]

@ianrkav Oh, you speak a little Danish, perhaps? :)

[ianrkav]

@MrsDelle Well actually, no:-) I new a Danish guy once and he was always using that expression you know, it kind of stuck in my mind:-)

[MrsDelle]

@ianrkav Oh, alright. Well, take care. :)

[ianrkav]

@MrsDelle I should say I 'knew' a guy, not 'new!' I must have missed my 'k'

I see you like Andrea Bocelli? I like him too, and also Russell Watson:-) So, what are you studying?

Catch ya later:-)

[amck72]

Wow Diego loves Gary like a brother, good to see the respect between the two

[seroMU]

Maradona, love is france, and you, you are paris!!

On LOve for Diego. Allah bless him. a real human being.

[bilalK9]

those are not 100 thousand people

[Heelixxrogue]

how wrong are you psykojay80, you dont have a clue. coke head & a cheat is maradona, as for Brazil . . . . . well . . . . . they got their arse handed to the by NL hahahaaa

[Eyehategod213gr]

Best was the Best... ;)

[EZE1980argbaires]

@Eyehategod213gr Maradona has said at least here in argentina that his idol when he was a teen was Best:)

[lahij]

diego maradona coach dont know how beat brazil germany spain netherland, argentina will struggle because hard game germany spian brazil netrhalnd, four team best team can kill diego mardona, i been watch brazil 3-1 arge, spain 3-1 arge was,

[makodify]

@lahij dude, write in your own language or learn english for crying out loud

[finnfisu]

cheater !!!! just like messi

[Cobretti20001]

@finnfisu shut the fuck up.

[finnfisu]

@Cobretti20001 why? both cheaters. maradona admitted that its in the argentinian cultur that they score goals with their hands.

[2009DanielWright]

@finnfisu but to cheat with such class and skill, that is very special. Only peter shilton and a few defenders really knew it was a handball, the others all contested for offside :D

[finnfisu]

@2009DanielWright haha are u saying its good to cheat ? that u admire cheaters. hmm I guess Henry is one of your favourites too. I think cheating is very wrong. Mayby not in the argentinian cultur but in the most cheaters are idiots.

[2009DanielWright]

@finnfisu No, I hate cheating, but when someone, let alone the greatest player ever, comes and cheats like that I can't help but admire them but instead of saying he's a cheat, look at his other goal i that same game, he got through half the ENGLISH team from the half way line and scored... any other player I would have hated for cheating but I forgive Diego Maradona because he is simply the very best footballer ever to grace the football pitch. BOOM!

[killallsuvivors]

maradona was great pele was great and the thing that i think made pele better was his personality his will and hes still healthy

[edefournas]

Maradona and Zidane... the 2 best players ever... close from them i see Cruyff, Pele and Beckenbauer.

[MatchAttaxLord]

@edefournas youve got that right but he did cheat come on ?

[edefournas]

@MatchAttaxLord oh yeah ! he did... that's the difference with Zidane who never did not.

[maorizio1]

@edefournas Zidane can only brush Maradona shoes!

[danutcase66]

@edefournas

And don't forget Peter Crouch! lol.

[TonyP235]

@edefournas MESSI

[Henrysroka1]

@edefournas

[Henrysroka1]

@edefournas 

[hv07120]

@edefournas

They're my 2 "best players ever" as well.

[Bucketheadhead]

@edefournas

Ronaldo is the greatest to ever live

[vanillaiceistheman]

@Bucketheadhead you silly cunt

[Bucketheadhead]

@vanillaiceistheman

I'm not silly nor am I a cunt

Ronaldo is the greatest player who has ever lived

[vanillaiceistheman]

@Bucketheadhead how do you fathom that? He is average at best compared with Maradona, Pele, Eusebio or Stan Collymore. Now fuck off you silly bastard...

[Bucketheadhead]

@vanillaiceistheman

Highest ever WC goal scorer with15 in 3 world cups he played in

42 goals in 46 games for PSV

47 goals in 49 games for Barcelona

83 goals in 127 league games for Real Madrid

He had speed, strength, power, skill, a sublime finish.

Ronaldo is the greatest player who has ever lived, finished.

So how about you fuck off you ignorant prick

LOL @ Collymore, I'm even a Liverpool fan but you must be high

[fuckooo]

@Bucketheadhead He's not the greatest player to have lived, but he is still an all time great. Best striker ever? perhaps.

But there's something about Maradona's ability to drag teams to greatness that very few have been able to do before. Plus, there wasn't a single thing Maradona couldn't do with the ball.

[andole2660]

@edefournas you forgot messi

[starrattmaster]

to be fair pele was alot better then aidane

[BoyBangla]

From Countries to Cities, from Towns to Villages, in Jungles and Deserts, in places where there is no TV, yet they still chant his name; you then realise what a great great name Maradona was.

The whole world knows who Maradona is. His footballing genius spread across the world. No other name has done that.

[MrSouthAmerica]

Pele is the BEST Player to have ever played. Maradona took drugs to help him with his stamina and strength while KING Pele was a natural athlete.

[digerydooboi]

cunt

[clever50]

@digerydooboi you are

[pakishm999]

diego is the man dont take no shit man from the fifa lol

i love u man an ur football better than pele lol ihope we win the world cup

[thetruth6789]

"si para mi es toda mi vida"

-Damn that kid is so fucking queer like all Argentineans. He looks like he wants to fuck Maradroga.

[ak16611]

LOOOOL

when gary said which hand was it

[kralle7611]

maradona is like mozart. his talent was a gift by god to enjoy it. everything in football came to him so easy, natural. and everybody agrees. i forgive him all his party shit. and @ellegreeko its not like that anymore with african teams. they call players into their teams that were born and raised in europe, children of immigrants, even 3rd generation immigrants. maybe they want to save the money it would cost to build and educate players at home. i think thats the wrong move, but they do it.

[joe1545cOdExPeRt]

I know what Gary Linekers thinking ''I want to kill that midget''

[handbrakemaster]

@joe1545cOdExPeRt gary lineker is the man. and unlike that ass terry butcher who refused to shake maradonas hand some 20 years later

[marianoherreroa]

la mano... jajajajajaja

[madhed]

Its funny that Gary says he's drug free when clearly he's whacked up on sniff in the dressing room.

[MrNannynooch]

he won it with his hand which is illegal and he knew he admitted that the line ref fell for his calling goal afterwards douche

[MoveOverCasanova]

i read a funny article, it siad: in ARGENTINA, there is a religion that celebrates christmas on diego´s birthday, and in GERMANY, lothar mattheus had to fight with his club over the salary for his fairwell - game ------

football becomes more and more a third world affair in future -- just look now ----tons of african teams in the world cup, while in the eighties there was only ONE, namely the winner of the africa cup!!

[ellegreeko]

@MoveOverCasanova the african teams are the future while there kids are out all day kicking a shitty ball or what they can find for 1 ours are upstairs playing fifa 10 on the playstation!! watch this space!!!

[MoveOverCasanova]

@ellegreeko

exactely - - but i think if the african´s kidsh could choose, they would rather play the nintendo as well?

[ellegreeko]

@MoveOverCasanova i agree!!!

[IceRice3000]

-which hand was it?

-this

Haha epic

[KINGMJ1990]

Pele cannot be the worlds best...maradona cannot be compared with anyone

[535scorp1]

Anybody ,know the music at 3:32

[Bashimillar]

Interestingly i heard said the other day that Maradona was loved by his team-mates both on & off the pitch, apparently that wasn't the case with Pele.

He always comes across as a really nice, generous guy who simply loves his football.

[superdan1875]

maradona has a lot of respect for lineker, he listed him as one of his all time top 100 players in his autobiography

[robin14669]

@superdan1875 Yes, you can see in this documentary that Maradona really has respect for Lineker. Probably the only reason that Maradona allowed the BBC to filming at his house was because the interviewer was Lineker. It's a sort of 'thing' that (ex) soccerplayers share with each other. They know all the ups and downs.

[larvatrong]

english sounds gay

[mikeytomm100]

@larvatrong but yet u took time to learn it

[leemajlawkahc]

All this crap about pele.

Maradonna is so much better in the top 3 off all time

[fulanomenganosultano]

it´s was foul !!! handball !!!!!! handball !!!!!.........the english still bleeding......greetings from Argentina

[supermata7]

Two of the best players in 80`s , and two of my idols in Fc Barcelona with Schuster, Stoichkov and Romario... it was nice to see them together.

2 de los mejores jugadores de los años 80 , y sin duda 2 de mis idolos del Barcelona en mi infancia junto con Schuster, Stoichkov y Romario, Estuvo bien verlos juntos como amigos

[matburit]

english people doesn't know how to appreciate their fottbal legend. how could they let gary lineker work as a fucking repeorter looking for the news of argentine legend.

[grant2052]

@matburit what are you on about you muppet, lineker obviousley appreciates maradona and is a generally decent guy

[matburit]

@grant2052 ---- appreciation my arse . he was there on duty because he's been paid by BBC. do you think Lineker will fork out his own money to search for someone who send his team packing. you must be argentine you fucking moron

[grant2052]

@matburit again what are you talking about you daft prick. why would i think lineker did this off of his own back? this was a factual documentary and yes i'm sure they were both paid by the bbc- thanks for that by the way i didn't know people on tv actually got paid for it. Are you trying to say lineker should hold a grudge against maradona still? really what is your point here?

[matburit]

@grant2052 ---- yoooo fucking retard, what i'm trying to say is English people never appreciate their football hero, did you listen to what lineker said I came here 9 years ago.. i failed to get my man ..what the fuck is that ?? why you let your football legend go work like slave ??? i don't think you watch this video maybe you went straigh to comments box

[n17spurs]

@matburit to be honest hes really appreciate journalist and its his choice to be a journalist, everyone in england loves lineker

as for maradona from an englishman

its wonderful to see hes healthy again

the best player there ever was

[superdan1875]

@n17spurs

Gazza would run rings around Maradona

[aaaaa895]

Maradona, Lineker, Mattheus, Vam Basten, what are the great players in 80s. I am so happy that I had a chance to see them playing the greatest soccer of all, in the world cups from 1982 to 1990.

And what we have today in soccer? Only rubbish in soccer and a lots of money. The quality of the world cups nowdays are very very poor.

[adamsworld2k8]

pele is much much better than maradona. Maradona=cheat pele=Football genius and a Football God

[ibarradigital1972]

@Rzar08 tu eres un pobre idiota con complejo de inferioridad

[ronyb777]

to say he only won a uefa is not fair!!! he won the championship twice with napoli..in the best league in the world..against power giants juve, milan, etc...he led argentina single handedly to win the wc in 86!!! pele had many great players when he won the world cup...and brasilian league is not even close to Serie A...so pele is not better than maradonna..they are both great!!!

[biomut3]

@ronyb777 "SINGLE HANDEDLY" :D

[ordude123]

@ronyb777 ur right about how he led them SINGLE HANDIDLY.

[prlad85]

I love Lineker, as for Maradona, I respect him as a player, but as a personn, he's a fucking asshole.

ARRIBA ARGENTINA!

Have a great day, a great night, a great week, a great month and a great spring! Puerto Rican Love from New York City!

[REDnWHITEarmyFTM]

your right maradona is a arsehole.... thats why when people debate who is better between pele or diego i'll will always say pele

[prlad85]

@REDnWHITEarmyFTM Yeah, fuck him. I prefer Pele has well.

Have a good one! Puerto Rican Love from New York City!

[yakamon123]

@prlad85 you are Puerto Rican, so it clear you don't know shit about football. Stick to baseball!

[bonoargentina]

genius

[fulanomenganosultano]

I am Argentine, and want to be thankful to the English to respect and to admire to Maradona, Diego is not good person but it was a genius of soccer, pure talent, and the English do not cry by the hand of God, do not look for excuses, emphasize the quality of Maradona thank you very much

[kevhighpriest]

@fulanomenganosultano well if that fat ignorant cheat was the best Argetina had to offer your country would be in a very bad way indeed.

[fulanomenganosultano]

@kevhighpriest you are right, but let me tell you that many million Argentineans we are not like Maradona, look at Lionel Messi...but you are right when thinking that Maradona is a piece of junk, only serves for play football

[DSHK45]

@kevhighpriest

Well I'm sorry you are such a poor sport becasue England never gave anything better than Maradona. Also, just four min. after came the unstoppable "Goal of the Century." Where was your England defence then?

[DallasBoy2007]

@fulanomenganosultano emphasize his quality to cheat. Yes, he had talent, but everything he did with his soccer, he undid it with things like the hand of god.

[Mystery0Warrior]

you were cheated by ur mom to her teacher to get through school you little british bastards
