Maradona - Live On Stage

blisters [Edit] [Delete] 01:56, 18 April '12

Am I missing something here, or could this be the saddest thing I've ever seen:

http://maradonaaustralia.com.au/media.html

So let me get this straight: it's a thing where "the little maestro" (their words, not mine) does an extended interview onstage, larded with archival video footage, then performs like a dancing circus bear in a bout of "Soccer Tennis" with some other footballers & audience members

Australia's not really a footballing nation, and I wouldn't be interested in football if we were, but is this a normal thing for a former legend to be doing? Maybe there's some honourable sporting tradition at work here that I'm not aware of, but it strikes me that Maradona might as well get a tattoo on his forehead that says "Career over: will basically eat my own shit for money"
