Who Was Diego Maradona?
Diego Maradona, born October 30, 1960 in Lanús, Argentina, is regarded as one of the greatest footballers ever to play the game.

Maradona passed away on November 25, 2020, at age 60.
Maradona's World Cup Legacy
Maradona captained Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title, a tournament remembered above all for their quarterfinal against England at the Azteca Stadium — where he scored both the illegal "Hand of God" goal and, minutes later, the "Goal of the Century," a mazy dribble from near the halfway line later voted the greatest goal in World Cup history by a FIFA poll. Maradona led Argentina to a second straight Final in 1990, where they lost to West Germany.
