I recently watched the documentary called Diego Maradona by Asif Kapadia on HBO. Highly recommend. Quite a sad story, really. He was just a kid from the slums wanting to buy a house for his parents that got sucked into the world of fame, crime (Camorra) & drug addiction. As a Dutchman I'm not a fan of Argentina (1978 World Cup robbery) and generally cheer against them, but I always appreciated the skill and passion Maradona had. RIP
