    This is a whopper of a file, over 23Meg, not recommended for dial-up, but otherwise worth looking at. May not play in RealPlayer, but Windows Media Player worked ok.

    If you've never seen Maradona's warmup routine from the 1989 UEFA Cup final then you've missed a classic.

    Go to the following URL: http://users.pandora.be/jan.breugelmans/ and then download the video clip from the link that says "Maradona Life is
    Life."

    This one should be in everyone's video clip collection.

    Cool video...looks like he is just messing around having a good time. He doesn't even stumble on his untied shoelaces!

    You are right. Maradona was a very talented player and is ball control skills were simply amazing. Its a shame his career performance does not show how much more he had to offer.

    Pretty awesome... Now if only other people had that kind of ball control, we wouldn't have so many fatherless kids out there... :D

    I consider myself very fortunate to have seen him play in his last World Cup game, when Argentina played Nigeria in 1994 (Foxboro, Massachusetts). He performed a very similar warmup routine albeit a bit less flamboyant, and the crowd loved it. It was hypnotic watching what he could do with his feet; just effortless. Whenever he touched the ball the crowd would cheer. I'll never forget when he came over to the corner of the field where I was sittting to take a throw-in and he looked up and smiled at the crowd and just soaked in the energy from so many of his fans who were there to see him play. As someone once said, he played his best when he felt loved. He was certainly loved at that game (although he tested positive for drugs and was given the boot by FIFA).

    Like Ferrari, he's the greatest ever.
