Basically a story of going off the rails whilst thrilling and infuriating football fans.

Good read and worth a thread of it’s own imo

Thanks for posting, never realised he was such a party animal, would love to have seen him play in England, iirc he once said he would like to finish his career in England, perhaps this story explains why nobody gave him that opportunity.

Still the greatest player ever imho, what he couldn't do with a football wasn't worth doing.
