“If I die, I want to be born again and I want to be a footballer. And I want to be Diego Armando Maradona again. I am a player who has given people joy and that is enough and I have enough” - Diego Armando Maradona
Other players have scored more goals and won more trophies, but Maradona’s impact is timeless. Made average teams national, european and world champions, despite teetering on the edge of recklessness away from the field all the time.
With his lifestyle and health issues, it seemed he was on borrowed time.
Still can't wrap my head around it though.
Sad day for all sports, not just football.
