Please don’t mention Gaza in the same breath as Best and Maradona

Despite the fact he cheated, I’ve never understood to this day how Peter Shilton, at 6’ was beaten in the air by 5’5” Maradona.
The best player I’ve seen live, absolute genius! I remember walking out of the Azteca gutted at the result and the first goat but also happy that I’d seen a footballing god in the flesh. Never got to see Best or Pele live |

All such assessment of great sportsmen is very subjective and personal, but...
He was undoubtably one of the all time greats, flawed or otherwise. To me he is one of just four midfielders/strikers that fit the ticket, (Sorry George, but you are not one of them). Normally, I am also generally wary of labelling the current crop. Pele (although he never played club football outside of Brazil). Maradona Messi Ronaldo. 3 South American’s and a Portuguese. I do not know enough to comment on defenders who might join that illustrious crop, but P Maldini may enjoy similar status... and F Baresi... and F Beckenbauer. Gazza? Forget it.
