Diego Maradona is one of the greatest soccer players that the world
has witnessed. Excellent dribbling action, powerful assists, accurate
passes and impressive footwork made Diego Mardona rise up to the
ranks, within a short period, to become the greatest football player
of all times. Argentina’s national hero and pride, this exceptionally
talented young man was born to play the sport. As such, despite
coming from a humble background with lack of financial stability,
he made his way to the football field at the age of ten and made his
professional debut by 16. His compact physique and great physical
strength gave him the edge over other players and helped him
achieve the pinnacle of success. In a career spanning over 21 years,
he rose from being an inexperienced club player to the most coveted
soccer player. He scored 34 goals in 91 international appearances. It
was through his sheer display of brilliance on the field that he was
awarded FIFA Player of the 20th Century award. He is the only player
to appear sixteen times as the captain of a World Cup team, which in
itself is a World Cup record.
