I must admit, a sublime 2nd goal...but,
he had already soured for ever his reputation,what a nonce.

Furssed gol wuz even moor betterer

Grate moovement n interplay finish off with a grate hedder

Honestly think it soured Shiltons reputation more than Maradona

Anyways

Artical is about naming mosed iconic player 4 ur tesm, not about Maradona

Most iconic for me was Cantona. But I think a lot of it is defined by when you were growing up. I'm sure it would have been Best if I'd grown up in the 60s

Growing up it was Zola, i was obsessed with the fact he did that back heel goal when i was a kid

Closest I can think of growing up is John Barnes. Although Barnes was probably the better all round player.

Maradona was famous for cheating and a few YouTube flicks

Steve Bull probably for us. 306 goals, two seasons with 50+ which I don't think anyone has done since.

Before my time, but undoubtably Alfredo Di Stefano.

As well as the famous 5 consecutive European Cup titles, Madrid won La Liga 8 times in his 11 years there.

What isn't so widely known is that when he joined Madrid hadn't won a league title for more than 20 years.

He scored in every one of those five European Cup finals too.

On the other hand, Maradona stood up for the oppressed and marginalised.
