Wes Maradona.
There will come a day when kids will argue who was better: Wes Hoolahan or Diego Maradona.
Some day. Maybe.
Okay, we’re perhaps stretching it just a little bit but the Irish maestro’s ball control had Dublin very excited again on Thursday night as the Norwich player twisted and turned his way around the attentions of the world champions.
Hoolahan played the game like he always does. With skill, with creativity, with bravery and he even emulated a significant move of Diego Maradona’s goal of the century when the Argentine wizard scored that wondrous individual effort against England in 1986.
But that was only against England…
Could he do it against the best team in the world like Wes Hoolahan did? He probably could but that’s besides the point.
Check out this bit of Wes magic who not only emulated the Maradona turn, he did it twice.
Okay, Diego took it on past the rest of the team and the ‘keeper and scored but… shut up. This is all we care about. https://twitter.com/krn_brk/status/652527027300487168 You lucky sod… https://twitter.com/joe_lyttleton/status/652402505972891648 Simple. https://twitter.com/ArranAFCSTL/status/652249415177084928 And, hey, we weren’t the only ones to compare him with Maradona. https://twitter.com/LucozadeSportIE/status/652197126311706624 So, the big question on everyone’s lips…
