    From football to politics...

    Partial results from Liberia's presidential election show former AC Milan striker George Weah has taken an early lead.

    Figures from the National Elections Commission (NEC) put Mr Weah ahead in 11 out of 15 counties, although most votes have yet to be counted.

    His main rival, incumbent Vice-President Joseph Boakai, leads in one county and is second in most others.

    A candidate needs more than 50% of the votes for outright victory.

    What a player he was. Why have none of you mentioned him??

    Alex Brown‏: Daft question. Diego Maradona is the greatest player to ever lace up his boots. Won Serie A and World Cup (almost) on his own.

    Michael Coogan: Maradona of course. Best in my era.

    Paul Sibbald‏: Greatest footballer ever in Serie A? Easy. Diego Armando Maradona for late 80s Napoli.

    Inter v AC

    The trophy cabinet is bulging for both sides, but they have fallen on hard times over the last few years.

    It is quite a coincidence that you have to go back to the 2010-11 season for the last time either side won any major silverware - Inter claiming the Coppa Italia under Leonardo, while AC won the league that season with Massimiliano Allegri as boss.

    Around the time of the 1990 World Cup, Milan was on top of the world, almost literally in AC's case given they won the Intercontinental Cup in 1989 and would do so again later in 1990, having beaten Benfica a fortnight before the tournament began to secure their fourth European Cup.

    The San Siro was the home of football and some of the greatest players the game has ever known played there; Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi and Marco van Basten for Milan. Giuseppe Bergomi, Walter Zenga and, later, the Brazilian Ronaldo at Inter.

    It all seems such a long time ago.

    When the the arena hosts the Milan derby today, it will feel like the game modern football left behind.
