BT Sport pundits pay their respects to the late Diego Maradona 

Well said Peter, players now play for stats whereas Maradona just played and stats followed him!! That's what made him the GREATEST!!

Crouch was right, he was the most naturally gifted footballer of all time

Gary Lineker is the definition of an English Gentleman!!!

There'll never be another Diego Maradona. Rest in peace.

"I've never seen anyone have just such a beautiful affection with a football." It‘s like Gary Lineker reads my mind, I believe he speaks for millions of Diego's fans around the world.

He was a strong physical Lionel Messi. Played in the roughest Era where rough tackles were allowed. For me the most talented player ever.

More than a week now and it's still Killing me. So sorry. From Germany: deepest respect to a great footballing nation and the best ever. 🇩🇪🇦🇷

Perhaps the two goals Vs England in the world cup in 86' best showcased the contrasting sides to Maradona's personality and unquestionable genius.

Michael Owen's face at 4:24 is literally me while Lineker was telling that story. I can picture Maradona doing that, picture other people trying it and failing. Absolute legend.

Maradona , the best player in the history.. 🇨🇱🇨🇱

Maradona is the Superman of football He came from the planet of the football gods Carry a entire country on his back Died has a true hero rest in peace Diego maradona

Football greats remembering the greatest. May his soul rest in eternal peace

We lost the Goat, as a Napolitan my heart is broken. What he did for us on and off the pitch, against impossible odds, will never be forgotten.

Linekar's testimonial of Diego's love for football sums up the sporting joy he gave to the world!!! There can never be another one like him!!!

The GOAT, When Maradona played, the tackles back in the days was insane.

Maradona was is and will always be the greatest player of all time.

God: "Diego Maradona! Come and shake my hand!"

Can't help but like Linekar..honest man.

Diego Armando Maradona was the reason I fell in love with football he was a genius a master a rock star of football RIP ICON💔

"An absolute brilliant goal against England" Roy Keane: "That was his was job, wasn't it?"

Gary's short anecdote about Maradona's warmup was my favorite part of this video. I couldn't help but laugh and smile about it

I had to come back to this. I know he watched that final with pride. Diego 86, Messi 22.

Maradona is 1 of d most searchable name on the internet. An iconic figure ⚽

The one thing I remember being said about Maradona was from Platini. “What I could do with a ball, Diego could do with an orange.” There has never been anyone like him before or since. Flawed but a genius.

The greatest footballer of all time. The megastar but yet so relatable to the masses. Rest in peace El Diego. The football world will never be the same again.

This is really wonderfull to hear english legends talk like that about Diego ...especially Lineker because he is a great mind.

RIP to one of the greatest footballers of all time, who my father witnessed lifting the World Cup back in 86'. The man who made my father fall in love with football and, with my father being crazy about him, I also revered him and supported Argentina for the 2006 World Cup. And now, both of my idols are in heaven. For me, the World Cup will never be the same. 😭😭

The passion and joy and reverence when Linekar talks about Maradona made me smile.

I love this. Gary is so excited to explain what happened that he's out of his seat and it's totally organic he's checking that he won't rip any microphone cable. To have a great like Gary Lineker talk like that him truly makes Diego the greatest.

What ppl dont understand about how good Maradona was compared to pele, messi, Ronaldo and so on is they all had great amazing players around them Maradona won his medals pretty much singlehandedly he was THAT good. RIP X

Can't stop watching this. Beautiful tribute to the most beautiful player in the game

The 1986 work cup is my favourite memory, my first world cup and the first time I saw the legend Maradona. Sad day😞 RIP

Diego was pure genius, pure football 👑

Really sad day for the world and especially for the Argentine people

Emociona ver a estas leyendas del fútbol inglés hablando asi de nuestro Diego. Gracias Diego, descansa en paz.

For me Diego is the greatest of all time ,.no one comes close , vision , passing skills , dribbling ability, dead ball , desire , emotion ,. leadership, inspiration. No one else in his category. Gary knows it 😊

Football history will be split into two Before Maradona (B.M) and after Maradona (A.M)....RIP sir. This is Ashok from Pondicherry, India

Its crazy how that little man influenced my whole countrys culture. The most Argentinian of all Argentinians and he just so happened to be the best in the biggest sport ever known to man. RIP diego. Unreal magician

Genio Genio Genio Diego Armando Maradona The GOAT RIP KING

Maradona will be number 1 on my list. R I P

One of the greatest football legends of all time who will always be remembered. Rest in peace Diego.

I never saw Pele play apart from old film, so Maradona was hands down the greatest footballer I’ve ever seen......sorry Gen Z or Millennials, to me he was a notch above Romaldo & Messi........Maradona won a World Cup when Argentina were not the best team and domestically won 2 Serie As with Napoli, again not the best team....In short unlike the other two he could win under any circumstances....And that left foot, wow!

Gary Lineker - not only a class player but also a class human. I admit it although he scored 3 goals against Poland on the World Cup 1986.

MARADONA LEGEND👑⚽️😔😭🇦🇷🇦🇷

Diego was the best footballer of all time ,no question about it !!

One of the most entertaining footballers ever to watch

Rest in peace to one of the greatest of all time what an inspiration

He Will Be A Legend Forever

George Best died on 25 November as well!

The best player I ever watched R I P Diego ⚽️

God as Maradona reaches heaven: Can I have my hand back now Diego?

The spacecraft has returned to carry him back to the planet he came from.

Emotional just hearing Gary.

He wore his heart on his sleeve, he spoke from the heart, he never forget his working class roots, finally he was a 👉FANTASTIC FOOTBALLER 👈 R.I.P. MR DIEGO MARADONA 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😪

Michael Owen started remembering football in 1990, look at Rio's face.

The Einstein of football, Diego Maradona!

We love Maradona We respect Maradona We salute Maradona World's greatest footballer Maradona

Rest in Peace Legend! Your Legacy lives on!❤️

The God: Not just one of the greatest,but the Greatest of all time!

It's so heartbreaking 💔💔💔🙏

The Definition of the word HERO! MARADONA!!!

No one could do what Maradona could do with the ball. He was the most technical gifted player I had ever seen

I see many posts in my country Ghana that are made by sports presenters that Pele is the greatest of all time in the world but I personally loved Maradona cuz he made football look simple to play and he could do same what we knew Pele was able to do, that's his goal scoring was super fabulous. And the exceptional thing about Maradona that I loved was He was indeed the grandmaster of the art of dribbling since football was created. He was a soccer god throughout his century to 21st century. Rest peacefully Legend.😢😢🙏🙏🌹🌹

England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ,Argentina 🇦🇷 and the football ⚽ World come together at this time. One of the greatest players iv ever witnessed in the sport amazing RIP DIEGO MARADONA 1960-2020

I’ve seen him playing with a lemon....half a hour of incredible skills

The greatest! Adiós Dios! Rest in peace

La cara de Owen cuando cuenta lo que hacia Diego con la balon, Dios que groso sos Diego!!!! Abrazo de gol.

The way Gary Lineker talked about him and the joy he had when he shared that short story tells us how much he has enjoyed playing in the same era wit one of the greatest, maybe the greatest footballer ever.

When I heard the news my heart just stopped for a second because even though I never watched him play live (since I am only 16) I realised we lost a true god of this game. The ability was unreal in the few clips I have seen of him doing his skills. A lot of great celebreties may have died this year but boy this was for me the most heartfelt. RIP legend❤

A Son of Argentina, but also a Gift for all Mankind! RIP KING DIEGO GOAT!

There will be no one better.

He was Born 2 Perform ..the best i have ever seen

Best I’ve ever seen & just now finding out he was very humble & carried a huge weight on his shoulders RIP legend x

Thanks Gary, Michael ,my honest respect from Argentina, God bless footbal, God bless D10S, thanks again for your beatiful words about our heroe

Se te va a extrañar mucho Diego seguí jugando al futbol desde el cielo nunca te vamos a olvidar!!! 1960 - 2020 Por siempre Diego Armando Maradona!!!

May his soul be at peace a great football player

Legend never dies. I am from Bangladesh and like me here is millions of people mourning him with love among respect. The Great Maradona was a such player who make glorious football world of his own.

Much Respect Legend RIP Diego Maradona

Well said Peter 👏 just incredible rip Diego 🙏

The Legend rest in Peace

Murió el fútbol, no Diego. Las leyendas y los eroes nunca mueren. Para mi este deporte no tiene más sentido. Gracias por tu arte, Diego. De Italia

still cant believe what he did in 86....it was just ridiculous

The most influential football player and iconic no doubt masterpiece fun to watch Diego Maradona he will missed a lot forever RIP 🙏🏽

When I was very young and didn't even like Football then, Maradona was the one everyone talked about at school

"Beautiful affection for the football" - cant put it any better.

Crouchy nailed it... THE best naturally gifted footballer thats ever been.

the greatest .. rest in peace Diego 💝

Brilliant. Simply the 🐐.

"Sea lo que sea que hiciéramos no funcionaba con Diego" hermosa frase de sîntesis de ese amigo del alma llamado Gary

Diego had cojones size of fists. Best player I've seen with Messi.

RIP , je was ( tot nu nog steeds ! ) de BESTE !!!

I m still sad for this❤❤❤❤❤

I love Maradona. Insanely amazing player. Big fan of Linekar as a person too actually.

He was my childhood hero and he was by far the best player I've ever seen up until I saw Messi. I was 11 when he scored that goal against England and I didn't know whether to applaud or cry. RIP Maradona, a true footballing genius and an icon that transcends sport

What a praise from ur opponents . Mind u such an accolade is rare in modern football.

Diego Armando Maradona the best of the best of the best of the best of the best of the best of the best of the best of the best of the best of all times

Rest on top ❤️

We should all feel privileged to have lived in a time to whiteness such a footballing genius! He was the greatest! Tough being an 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 fan to forgive him for that Hand of God goal in ‘86 - but the second goal showed him at his very, very best....pure unrivalled talent! He climbed to the very top and his football gave people so much joy. He’ll forever be a true legend of the game and player whose legacy will live on long after we’ve all gone! RIP Diego! Thx for the wonderful WC memories. 😥🇦🇷❤️🇦🇷🏆🏆

Thanks guys for saying football instead of soccer.

I knew a Greek Cypriot guy when i was growing up who could volley the ball way up in the air time after time and barely move. He couldnt play football to save his life, but he could do that
