Diego Maradona (1960–2020)

A truly inspirational authentic autobiography book, for any football fan of any age. This book gives a historical over-view and insight to the rise and fall of Diego Maradona, from humble beginnings, to success, world cup victory to using drugs. Contains multiple pictures within its format of classic Maradona footballing moments, including the sublime moment of his career, holding the world cup in Mexico 1986. This book is a treasure for fans of Diego. The books format follows in a time-scale pattern, from late 1970s to late 1990s, almost twenty years of Diego;s life. Very enjoyable and informing.!!!! Diego Maradona, was probably the greatest footballer to have played the game, other people will have different opinions, the element that places Maradona above all other pretenders to his throne of the greatest player ever in my own personal opinion, is that Diego Maradona achieved greatest playing for Napoli, a team who were more use to fighting a relegation in the 1980s when Maradona joined them, raising them up against the might of Italy & Europe to win the league and UEFA Cup, the majority of other players that have called themselves the greatest during the past 50 years, tend to spend their entire careers at elite clubs, very few join lesser teams and transform them into world beaters. Would any of these other players have the ability to join a team lower in the league and transform them almost singled handily into champions? I think the majority of football fans who enjoy a typical autobiography would enjoy reading this.....… (altro)

Desde los orígenes pobres hasta la mayor gloria, pasando por cada una de sus muertes y sus respectivas resurrecciones, por las definiciones sobre sus amigos y sus enemigos, todo está relatado aquí por él, en primera persona, un Maradona íntegro y también íntimo. Es este Maradona que confiesa y que define sin reservas:

"Al Diego, a mí, me sacaron de Villa Fiorito y me revolearon de una patada en el culo a París, a la torre Eiffel. Yo tenía puesto el pantalón de siempre, el único, el que usaba en el invierno y en el verano, ése de corderoy. Allí caí y me pidieron, me exigieron, que dijera lo que tenía que decir, que actuara como tenía que actuar, que hiciera lo que ellos quisieran. Y yo hice. Yo... hice lo que pude, creo que tan mal no me fue".… (altro)
