1960-2020

The best football player ever has left us today. Diego Armando Maradona. The Legend.

For me he is the best player ever, by far. I was 22 years old when Maradona almostnon hos owm won the world cup in Mexico 1986. I habe never seen anything like his performance then, before or after.

He had a hard life and never forgot where he came from. Why was he so popular, despite his troubled life? To explain, some words from the spectator stand in Napoli Stadium, quoted by Pep Guardiola yesterday: ”It is not about what you did with your life, it’s about what you did in our lives”. My South American friends amways says, ”…he never forgot where he came from”.

Once I got the honor to sit in his chair at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires. One of my best travel memories ever. Goodbye Diego. R.I.P.
