No he isn't, he is a great example of how little regard was given to player welfare both on and off the pitch, I never knew until the other day that his body guards were all mafia henchmen, when you look back on his move to Naples he was literally being delivered into the hands of criminals and who can be surprised how it turned out? It wouldn't happen today, clubs and agents are so much more protective of the assests that generate the money and protect them on the pitch to which was also lacking in his day to such an extent he was all but a cripple

Exactly, no one else in the world cares he handled the ball in but us and in typical English fashion we are still banging on about it 35 years later, I wonder if Ghana will be bleating so badly on the day luis Suarez dies?
