Diego Armando Maradona will forever be remembered as the complete package: the good, bad, all of the above. Maradona, who became arguably the best player in football history in his time, died Wednesday in Buenos Aires due to a heart attack. He was 60. The Argentine government declared three days of national mourning following the passing of the national hero. “El Pibe de Oro” (“The Golden Kid”) captained Argentina to victory in the 1986 World Cup and brought pride to southern Italy by turning Napoli into a club football giant – winning multiple national and international titles with “Gli Azzurri.” Maradona also became one of two joint winners of the “FIFA Player of the 20th Century” award along side with Brazilian legend Pele.
