Sports 4 - Diego Maradona - The Mesmerising Football Player Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Sports 4 - Diego Maradona - The Mesmerising Football Player
Maradona, who mesmerised the world with his
Magnificent game of football,
Adored by millions of fans,
Admired world over for his skill and brilliance,
Leaves the mortal body with a sad ‘goodbye',
Leaving his football fans shocked and depressed.
Tributes pour in from different parts of the world:
"The greatest football lover…a child King.
He was a bit excessive in all things,
But the most important thing is that
he was excessive on the pitch and
It was beautiful."
Michel Platini - Rival in Italy
"There was a banner in Argentina one time
I read years ago, it said:
‘It doesn't matter what you have done with your life,
It matters what you have done with our lives.'
For people of our generation, the world cup in ‘86
In Mexico was something which made this sport better"
Pep Guardiola - Manchester City Manager
"He was never happier than when he was on the pitch.
It was there that he would have a date
With love of his life - The ball.
But he also had a spectacular command of the stage……
Like a rock star driving the crowd wild
Rather than a football player."
Jorge Valdano - Friend and Teammate
" It is certainly possible that
Diego Armando Maradona,
Who died Wednesday at the age of 60,
Was the finest soccer player ever to draw breath,
Though that is a subject of hot and unyielding debate.
Less contentious is the idea that no other player has ever
Inspired such a devotion."
NYT News Service
Many continue to write tributes on Maradona.
But I rejoice in the idea of Brazilian Soccer legend-
Pele's tweet: "One day, I hope we can play ball together in the sky."
Let's hope and pray that the legends of football can
Play football together in heaven!

Wonderful poem. A tribute to a great player of football Diego Maradona.
A charismatic player, ever since I saw his first game in 1986 I became huge fan of his. You name it and he has it. Ball control, dribbling, space creation, command, magical touch, speed, dodging, dribbling etc. etc. A very sad end to a fantastic and dream like life.
