Another true football legend has gone. 

I'll never forgive him for the Hand Of God in 1986 but he was a bloody genius on the pitch. If only Leeds had signed him the following year...

    As a semi successful soccer player into my mid 20s...the hand of god is my favorite play ever.

    Fucking rockstar off the field too.

    Greatest of all time. If the English can't let go of the Hand of God, maybe they should pursue another sporting endeavour. 
    Total rockstar.

    He was a genius with the ball at his feet. The world of football became poorer with yesterday's news. 

    Just rewatched his HBO documentary...so f'n good. Highly recommend for anyone who hasn't watched it yet.

    RIP D10S
