Diego Maradona: 100 Vintage Photos

An assorted collection of 100 rare and vintage photographs of Diego Maradona, any football romantic will cherish forever – a visual Maradona Biography.

 
 

“Often, as we all know
His feet left the ground
But when he was down to earth
Words couldn’t be found
to describe how he gave birth
to miracles on a footballground
There is no one, like Diego”

– Edwin Alblas, The Netherlands

 
He was born on 30th October, 1960 in the poor slums of Villa Fiorito in the outskirts of Buenos Aires. Whether he was truly the best ever or not will always be a matter of debate but there is no doubt that the name of no other footballer generates as much extreme emotions as Diego Armando Maradona.
