Diego Armando Maradona is a former Argentinian football player. Considered by many the best football player of history.
He was born in villa Fiorito, Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 10/30/1960. Maradona first played in the Argentinian Championship, for Argentinos Juniors and for Boca Juniors. Then he went to Spain, where, playing for Barcelona, he won a Copa del Rey. In 1984 he went to Naples where he won 2 Italian Championships, a Coppa Italia, a UEFA Cup and an Italian Supercup, plus obtained the 2nd place in the Italian Championship twice. He led the Argentinian Soccer Team to victory in the World Cup in 1986 (in which he admittedly cheated in the semi-finals, in the famous "Hand of God" incident, at the same time scoring the most beautiful goal in history, according to many people's opinion), and obtained a second place in the World Cup in 1990 in Italy.
In the 1990s, his reputation was stained by a cocaine addiction that he tried to control on several occasions, and is now trying to defeat in Cuba.
In Naples, where still now he is beloved (having brought the local team to win for the first time the italian championship), he also had a scandal regarding an illegitimate son and was object of some suspects about an eventual frequentation of Camorra (local Mafia).
In this decade, he played again in Neweld`s Old Boys and Boca Juniors, without much success.
A brother of Maradona is a soccer player too, and the young illegitimate child is now trying to start a career in soccer, even if with more spectacularity than results.
