Maradona, regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time helped Argentina win the World Cup in 1986, the pinnacle of an illustrious career. 

He played club football for Boca Juniors, Napoli and Barcelona among others and was adored by millions all over the world for his brilliant skills. 

Maradona was responsible for the infamous ‘Hand of God’ that eliminated England from the 1986 world cup tournament. 

His career was also tinged with controversy because of drug and alcohol addiction.

The Argentine news outlet Clarin broke the news on Wednesday afternoon, describing the news of Maradona’s passing as having a “worldwide impact.”

The sad news was confirmed by Maradona’s lawyer. Tributes were pouring in from all over the world of football.

Maradona left hospital on November 11, eight days after being admitted for emergency brain surgery.

The iconic former Argentinian footballer was driven away from the private Olivos Clinic just before 6pm on November 11 as hundreds of fans of photographers tried to get a glimpse of him.

Maradona was hospitalised the previous week and had to have an emergency operation to remove a blood clot from his brain.
