We say goodbye to arguably the greatest footballer of all time. Certainly one of the top 5 in history.

Maradona had a very interesting life, sometimes controversial. His skills were insane. Ultimate control, and extremely fast movements. His two goals against England in the 1986 World Cup have shaped history - one for the controversy and one for the genius.

Crazy, saw this...and yet Pele (the actual greatest footballer of all time ;) ) is still going. (If just barely at 80 years old.)

Of course, Maradona didn't exactly have the healthiest lifestyle either.

Yeah Maradona's lifestyle was pretty bad - probably lucky to make it to 60 in the end.
