Diego Maradona

Is the great man actually coming to the game tomorrow and if so anybody know if the club are planning..?

I doubt he could be any slower in midfield than O'Shea.

But it would be fantastic to have my all-time great footballer in the stadium.

a few load bursts of ARGENTINA ARGENTINA ARGENTINA to make him feel at home im sure

Sure Pele won more..

But Maradona actually made the difference, not just for Argentina in 86, but for Napoli, where he'd single handedly cancel out 3-4 world class players on the other side..

I'd say DiStefano and Bestie are next in line.

Apart from giving him and his entourage complimentary seats, free food and ale and access all areas passes, £#%&! all!

Apparently he'll have to queue for his own coke at the kiosk

Yes, he's bought my ticket off me (look out for him in E239) and the club are planning to order more pies

I've heard he posts on here

One of my childhood heroes. Will wear my "Hand of God" jacket in the great mans honour tomorrow.

In honour of the great man's arrival the club has allowed him to manage Wigan for the game.

Lets hope he influences Oshea to play just like him.

yes but in our true welcoming mancunian spirit we can forget about all that. we are getting more and more like scousers as the seasons pass.

One being the greatest player in history, and the other being Spurs' fourth-best player of the last 30 years.

i meant the fact that we gave lovable gazza a standing ovation when he played in that munich benfit match, no comparison in ability. without going into a "what if" debate who knows, maybe gazza could have become the greatest player in history. but what he did was on par with what shearer did and i don't think he'll get a standin ovation any time soon.
