10 Best Ever Football Insults

Maradona almost took the top spot on this list through the sheer volume of insults his thrown around during his career. 'The Golden Boy' has targeted the likes of Michel Platini & the nation of France, football journalists, his own children, and Pele.

The question as to who is the greatest footballer in history is a divisive one, but there can be no argument as to who wins the verbal sparring when Maradona and Pele go at it. Maradona has declared, "Pele should go back to the museum", suggested he's a doll being moved by remote control, and even announced, "They need to change the medicine they are giving to the idiot."

Diego's piece de resistance came when he guided Argentina to qualification for the 2010 World Cup. Some journalists had questioned his appointment as manager of the national team and expressed doubts about his ability to secure them entry into the tournament, once that was guaranteed Maradona revelled in his success and responded:

"To those who did not believe in us - and ladies forgive me - they can suck my d*ck and keep on sucking it... I am grateful to my players and to the Argentinian people. I thank no one but them. The rest, keep on sucking d*cks."

We get the picture Diego.
