FOOTBALL LEGEND, MARADONA DIES OF HEART ATTACK AT THE AGE OF 60
AJM NEWS
Argentine football legend, Diego Maradona has died at the age
of 60, his spokesman announced
Wednesday.
Maradona died of a heart attack on Wednesday, his lawyer said. Maradona had recently battled health issues and underwent emergency surgery for
a subdural hematoma several weeks ago.
Maradona became a global icon
after leading Argentina to the 1986
World Cup
He made his debut for Argentinos
Juniors just before his 16th birthday
and his debut for Argentina at age 16
in February, 1977. His career is
defined by the World Cup, the four he
played in and the one he missed.
Maradona was short, powerful and
quick. He was also a ferocious and
astute competitor who refused to be
intimidated even though many
opponents tried. Above all, he was
sublimely and imaginatively skillful.
However, while Maradona is
remembered for his masterly
composure on the ball, he was also
famous for his frequent lack of
control both on the field and off. He struggled with addiction, notably to
cocaine, and with his weight. Diego Armando Maradona was born
on October 30, 1960, in Lanus, just
outside Buenos Aires, and grew up
in one of the poorest areas of the
Argentine capital.
