Maradona dies aged 60

All is not what it seems with Maradona

Heavily influenced by drug pushers when he got to Spain with no protection from his employers and led down the wrong path by the Mafia when he got to Naples.

Constantly fouled by defenders with challenges that wouldn't be allowed today.
Then pumped full of drugs by club doctors to keep him going because he was a goldmine

When he was 18 his club at the time, Argentinos Juniors, went on exhibition tours abroad because fans wanted to see this wonder kid. The owner of the club didn't pay him though.

Putting the handball aside Maybe he was the victim and was seriously abused and this might explain some of his lifestyle choices.
Sadly the people who took advantage of him contributed to his early demise

Wouldn’t surprise me if the mafia owned him

A familiar story. Young lad who just wanted to play football and was exceptional at it but didn't have the right people around him to guide him through life. PW would have never let it happen
