About
Diego Armando Maradona was an Argentine professional football player and manager. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time. Maradona captained Argentina to victory in the 1986 FIFA World Cup and played for clubs like Barcelona, Napoli, and Boca Juniors. His skill, vision, passing, ball control, and dribbling ability were combined with his short stature, giving him a low center of gravity which allowed him to maneuver better than most other football players; he would often dribble past multiple opposing players on a run.
