A semi-vintage image today, from a benefit match way back in 2006. Image how much Robbie Williams and Diego Maradona have in common: Easy women, rehab, the wonders of cocaine, rehab, the danger of carbs, rehab …

  Was this really 2006? Maradona looks positively svelte. Relatively speaking.

  What I want to know is why in the hell was Robbie Williams given the captain’s band? Has anyone ever heard ‘Millenium’?

  Chris I’m pretty sure that was actually the reason for the armband.

  @Laurie: he lost quite a bit of weight after the stomach stapling, and keeps in reasonable shape doing those Showbol games in South America. He still ends up in the hospital every now and then when he relapses on something, but he’s generally much healthier than he used to be.

  Stomach stapling? That was one hospitalization I somehow missed. Thanks, Ben.

  I have a theory that the extra weight from Maradona’s surgery was reformed and made into Robbie Williams. Maybe that explains the similarities, as well as the slightly tender, slightly uncomfortable way they seem to be walking together.
