Happy birthday to Claudio Caniggia, the Argentinian cult hero, who turns 59 today! 🎂🇦🇷
🗣️ Diego Maradona: “The fastest player I ever played with. When Claudio ran, the game changed.”
🗣️ Franz Beckenbauer: “You couldn’t give Caniggia space — if you did, you were already dead.”
🗣️ Paolo Maldini: “Defending against Caniggia was about survival, not elegance.”
🗣️ Gabriel Batistuta: “Claudio terrified defenders. Not because of tricks — because once he ran, nobody could stop him.”

Looking back, this 1989 Christmas present was probably the most influential present I ever received as a kid
Turned my love of football into an obsession
Judging by the amount of adverts I see on here for the World Gold Council I can only assume that, somewhere and unbeknownst to myself, I have a secret bank account full to the gills.
@RoyCurtis68 I once thanked a retired Cork barman the way Americans thank veterans
"thank you for your service"
I was sober, we were having a chat and it came out as naturally as "pint of Guinness when you're ready please"
@goddammitbrain@StevieBoylan I keep a slab of Dale Farm Vanilla for the times I get stuck in traffic on the M50......so I am currently on 12 slabs a month.
