You were brilliant and self destructive. But anyways entertaining. Rest in peace.

My wife just asked me about him only being sixty. I told her that he lived life so hard that he did very well to make it to sixty.

RIP

I'm young (and old) enough to be of the generation that first saw him (on tv) at USA'94, showing his cocaine face to the world, and where he already looked like a 60-year old. The two famous Mexico'86 goals have been shown over and over and again and again.
Sad day for Argentina, even more so to his family and close friends.

This all day long. I didn't get to know about him until the late 80's and then his reputation through the 90's. The HBO Doc about him was fantastic and really struck a certain chord. He lived in a whole different world.

Yep, that HBO documentary is a must see. The intro is great and it doesn't let up.
