Whatever your thoughts on him, What a footballing genius. Legend of the game and certainly top 3 of all time (If not the best)
For me, he was the greatest. He single handedly made cr@p teams great (Argentina & Napoli). That second goal against England in 1986 was stunning when you consider every England player wanted to break his leg. RIP DiegoWhatever your thoughts on him, What a footballing genius.

I think the napoli achievement was more impressive than Argentina. They had a very good team in 86, he was unbelievably good in that tournament.For me, he was the greatest.

Couldn't have put it better myself.RIP
I think Napoli messed him up. He also got far too much stick for the Hand of God episode, he tried and got away with it, no different really than Lineker diving against Cameroon four years later and Shilton should have got there before Maradona. We also probably should have at least got to extra time in that game but Robson brought Barnes on too late and Lineker missed an open header.
Blame the far taller Shilton for being out jumped by a midget.No..... Never forget...... the cheating Argy git.... good riddance
Good player, but a cheat
A midget with his arm above his head, where was VAR then!!!!Blame the far taller Shilton for being out jumped by a midget.
Don't be so bitter
Shilton had his arm above his head as well.A midget with his arm above his head, where was VAR then!!!!
Cant forget, we could have won that world cup apart from the cheat...
OK, a cheating midget who could jump very high?, satisfied?Shilton had his arm above his head as well.
Blah blah blah, England should win pretty much every world Cup but for someone elseA midget with his arm above his head, where was VAR then!!!!

Exactly, glad you agree!!!Blah blah blah, England should win pretty much every world Cup but for someone else
Yeah manExactly, glad you agree!!!
Did you have a go at Lineker when he dived against Cameroon in 1990, or is that acceptable because it was England?Never forgive him for what he did now me meets his maker.
Doesn’t even need to tie his bootlaces!!
I love that clip and went straight onto youtube to watch it as soon as I heard the news. The skill, confidence and arrogance simply oozes out of him.
The more I see of Maradona's goals the more I hate Shilton.
The bit of skill when he receives the ball. Pity Reid or Fenwick didn't put a tackle in though
You need to ask, Yes of course its alright.....Did you have a go at Lineker when he dived against Cameroon in 1990, or is that acceptable because it was England?
