Maradona Diego Footballeur argentin

 

* 30.10.1960, Buenos Aires

 

Sans doute l'un des meilleurs footballeurs professionnels de ces dernières décennies, connu pour ses frasques et ses excentricités, Maradona remporte avec l'équipe d'Argentine la Coupe du monde 1986, avant d'échouer en finale à celle de 1990. De 1982 à 1984, il joue au club de Barcelone puis, de 1984 à 1991, au club de Naples, qui doit payer une somme astronomique pour son transfert. Après avoir fait la une des journaux en 1991 pour des affaires de drogue, il est accusé de dopage en 1994 et exclu de la Coupe du monde. Il rejoint alors son ancien club de Buenos Aires. Un nouveau contrôle de dopage s'étant avéré positif en 1997, il abandonne quelques mois plus tard le football professionnel.
