Diego Maradona - In Memoriam
Diego Maradona, I never knew you,
but you were from my generation,
only five years younger than I.
How young to have to die! How young to me it seems!
You – who were one of the greatest of the greats!
You – who controlled the football; you were its master.
“El Pibe de Oro,”
always you will be remembered.
Golden Boy of Argentina -
whose famous goal was
the “Hand of God,”
may you to God now homeward fly.
