Diego Maradona was born on October 30th , 1960- this means he has clocked 60 years today and is already celebrating his birthday.
For those who don't know him, Maradona is player who is generally regarded as the top footballer of the 1980s and one of the greatest of all time.
He is renowned for his ability to control the ball and create scoring opportunities for himself and others, he led club teams to championships in Argentina, Italy, and Spain, and he starred on the Argentine national team that won the 1986 World Cup.
Maradona's career with the Argentine national team included World Cup appearances in 1982, 1986, 1990, and 1994. He dominated the 1986 competition in Mexico. In a 2â€"1 quarterfinal victory over England, he scored two of the most memorable goals in World Cup history.
The first was scored with his hand (the referee mistakenly thought the ball had struck his head), a goal now remembered as the 'Hand of God' goal. The second occurred after Maradona gained possession of the ball at midfield and dribbled through a pack of English defenders and past the keeper before depositing the ball in the goal.
He did not finish the 1994 World Cup, because he tested positive for the drug ephedrine and was again suspended. Maradona also played on South American championship-winning teams in 1987 and 1989.
