Full name...
Diego Armando Maradona
He was to Argentina
what Pele is to Brazil.
A household name.
A pop-culture icon.
A beloved global phenomenon.
One of the greatest
and most influential
soccer players of all time.
Billions grew up with him.
Millions admired him and still do,
Soccer players wanted to be him
and play like him.
Boy, did he make his mark
in this world!
What a life! What a legacy!
Gone but never will be forgotten.
So long, Maradona
Many thanks for the memories!
