Featured Diego Maradona: Argentina legend dies aged 60

[Kaptaan]

Probably the greatest football player ever is no more. RIP. I actually have a Diego shirt and Argentina jacket in his honour. It was back in 1980s that this pocket rocket came to my attention.

Football legend Diego Maradona, one of the greatest players of all time, has died at the age of 60.

The former Argentina attacking midfielder and manager suffered a heart attack at his Buenos Aires home.
He had successful surgery on a brain blood clot earlier in November and was to be treated for alcohol dependency.

Maradona was captain when Argentina won the 1986 World Cup, scoring the famous 'Hand of God' goal against England in the quarter-finals.

I am not even sad for him. The guy partied like crazy, drank alcohol, fucked the whores and snorted cocaine off their tits like there is no tomorrow. He lived his life to the fullest for which he has my respect and my jealousy. Don Diego Fuckin’ Maradonaaaaa! Forever a legend...

Lmao the dude was coked out of his mind for the last couple decades. I am surprized he lasted this long with his lifestyle. He was a legendary footballer still so RIP.

Very sad, RIP.

My (live) memory of him on field is very hazy and relegated to only the 1990 world cup where he was somewhat past prime already. 1994 he was caught doping early and kicked out iirc.

But footage of him in 80s, arguably the best ever player along with Pele imo.

@T-123456 maybe the threads need merging: https://defencehub.live/threads/diego-maradona-argentina-legend-dies-aged-60.3155/

Man this guy was such a legend regardless of his personal life.

From rags to becoming a legend.

Argentinas history is mostly sad and depressing. Football is what gave this nation some hope.

For a lot of Argentines, Diego Maradona brought joy to his countryman. Not just argentina he earnt the respect and admiration of the world.
