Close, but no cigar!

Public radio station RFI says a "technical problem" meant the obituaries were published prematurely.

Oh shit. I loved Maurice. Good player and a lump of granite at the heart of the defence. Ruined my day now.
Rest easy fella.

Was a good signing for us. Hard as nails and uncompromising, took no messing about and a lot like George Curtis. Sure he was a Cantwell signing ?

We saw both sides of him in the 86 quarter final, the cheat and the great player, unfortunately i remember the cheat more as i think it was a turning point in the game as a whole. I hope he rests in peace

Take out the handball bitterness and he was a footballing genius. One of the greatest of all time. Maybe another one that never handled things well when he stopped playing but what a player he was.

I know it's more when you grow up they have more of an impact on you, but the greatest for me. Singlehandedly dragged Argentina and Napoli to glory, at a time when pitches weren't as smooth as now, and defenders could cut your leg in half.

The '86 world cup just seemed another world. Players you'd never seen and heard of until then, the crackling phone line commentary, and hell een the Mexican wave was new and somehow exotic. Made me fall in love with football properly, that tournament.

the thing is he was fouled 53 times during that world cup, a record.
The players trying to stop him broke the law to try and achieve their aims and so did he. Be great if it wasn't like that but sadly it is.

Fair point, if he'd been fouled 54 times we might have made the semi.

I think they tried a few times but couldn’t even foul him.

Just one decent chopper foul in the first two minutes would have done.
