Controversial football legend Diego Maradona was one of the greatest players in the history of the game - but vilified in England after his 'Hand of God' goal at the 1986 World Cup.

He played for clubs including Barcelona and Napoli but admitted to struggling with a cocaine addiction that led to serious health problems and weight gain. He had managerial experience with Argentina, Fujairah and Dorados.

Maradona died of a heart attack in November 2020. He was 60-years-old.
