He is more than a football king, he is the hero of Argentina, he healed the wound of losing the Malvinas War by beating the England team and won the fifa world cup.

Guy was a coke headed fool.
Shame he passed but by the end he acted like a tool. Drugs did him in.

Well that explains that. My knee-jerk response to this was "wtf, soccor players are in immaculate shape" and 60 - I'd like to think that most people have a lot of life left at 60.

I hope he will rest in peace.

IMJ it’s FOOTBALL, not soccer. Play with the feet, not with hands like “ American football” or “Rugby with pads.”

So sad that Diego Maradona lost his match against drug addiction. Another footballer who passed away was Paolo Rossi. He died of lung cancer.

May both Rest In Peace.
