Diego Maradona - His Life Review

Overall Rating

Wonderful goals and skills.

Not all in chronological order.
The 'Hand of God' knocks me sick every time I see it.

I was given 'Diego Maradona - His Life' as a wind-up birthday present. Friends and family alike know I despise the cheating little runt thanks to a certain 'goal' chalked up against England in 1986. However, as a football supporter I must confess I was mesmerised by this DVD. It's a detailed DVD and showcases the Argentine at every stage of his footballing career from being a young boy to his rise to fame at Boca Juniors followed by his spells with European sides including his love affair with Napoli. It of course highlights his huge impact at World Cups and yes, it does show 'that goal'. I have to admit, some of the goals and skills on display are simply breathtaking and despite the fact I don't like Maradona's penchant for cheating, the other side to his game is as good as you will see anywhere with his other goal against England probably being the best goal on the whole DVD. Even though I don't like Maradona 'The Man' I really enjoyed this DVD.
