Football legend Diego Maradona has died at the age of 60.

The former Argentina attacking midfielder and manager had successful surgery on a brain blood clot earlier in November.

It was then announced he was to be treated for alcohol dependency.

One of the greatest players of all time, Maradona was captain when Argentina won the 1986 World Cup, producing a series of sublime individual performances.

He played for Barcelona and Napoli during his club career, winning two Serie A titles with the Italian side.

Crammed a lot into 60 years, I'll remember him for his efforts in Mexico 86 as without him Argentina would have struggled, with him they won the tournament.

Shame no fans still. Would loved to have heard a rousing 'Who put the ball in the England net? Diego! Diego!" in his memory.


Of course it change to Arthur after Euro 88!

I'd like to thank him for hand balling England outa the world cup, it meant a piss up with the lads down the mumbles and me meeting my Mrs that night who gave me 2 great kids. Oh the fickle hand of fate.
