I do understand that

but in those days it was far, far easier for a team like Napoli to win the title than it would be far west brom to win it now. Primarily because the Italian league was made up, largely of Italian players so the standard was nowhere near as high.

Maradona is the best player ever at the moment - but in 10 years time Ronaldinho will be considered better. He invents a new trick every year ffs! He is the reason that children go on the streets to play football and he has done it all without drugs and bungs.
