Maradona, who played for clubs including Barcelona and Napoli, was captain when Argentina won the 1986 World Cup, scoring the famous 'Hand of God' goal against England in the quarter-finals.
The former Argentina attacking midfielder and manager had successful surgery on a brain blood clot earlier in November and was to be treated for alcohol dependency. Former Tottenham manager and Argentina defender Mauricio Pochettino said: "Broken with pain. Diego, you were my hero and friend. I was so fortunate to have shared football and life with you."
In the country's capital, "gracias Diego" replaced train information on digital metro signs, while fans sang La Mano De Dios in city suburbs.
Ok yes, RIP maradona. Sad when anyone dies I know. But why are making out like he was a Saint? He cheated in the World Cup, Became a drug addict and died a waster. Some role model eh!
Argentina the country that brought us, the missing, the Falklands war, and drugs cheat maradoughnut.
A waste of 3 days
60 years is not worth to die with enormous experience. Really very sad of your lost. You May Rest in Peace.
Maradona is a true icon for the land of viveza criolla. The land of thieves. The Falklands have been British since 1765. No 'Hand of God' can change that reality.
