MARADONA the legend of football

my most adorable football legend~ Full name: Diego Armando Maradona Date of birth: October 30, 1960(age 47) Place of birth: Villa Fiorito, Buenos Aires, Argentina Height: 1.65 m (5 ft 5 in) Playing position: Supporting striker, Attacking Midfielder In 2000 Maradona shared the FIFA Player of the Century award with Pelé after finishing first in a FIFA internet poll on the best player of the 20th century. Maradona won many trophies with Boca Juniors, FC Barcelona and SSC Napoli over the course of his career. During an international career that included 91 caps and 34 goals, he played in four FIFA World Cup tournaments, leading the Argentina national team to its victory over West Germany in 1986 World Cup, in which he collected the Golden Ball award as the tournament's best player. He scored both goals in the 2-1 victory over England in the quarter-final of the '86 tournament. The first goal was an unpenalized handball known as the "Hand of God", while the second goal was a spectacular 60-metre weave through six England players, commonly referred to as "The Goal of the Century" He is also considered one of the sport's most controversial figures. Maradona was suspended for 15 months in 1991 after a failed doping test for cocaine in Italy, and then again for ephedrine during the 1994 World Cup in USA. After retiring from playing on his 37th birthday in 1997,he suffered ill health and weight gain, hardly helped by ongoing cocaine abuse. However, a stomach stapling operation helped control his weight gain. Since overcoming his cocaine addiction, he has become a TV host in Argentina.

Maradona like Messi are great soccer players no doubt about it... but there is also no doubt that they will cheat there way shamelessly to a victory that they dont deserve. It is a shame to have such talent with nothing behind it. Cocaine is a hell of a drug...
