    From one of the articles in the NY Times:

    Thirty-two years before Maradona was born, the writer Borocotó — editor of El Gráfico, the prestigious, trailblazing sports magazine — suggested the country should erect a statue to the so-called pibe: the dusty-faced street kid with the “trickster eyes,” “a mane of hair rebelling against the comb” and the “sparkling gaze” who represented not only Argentina’s soccer culture, but also its self-image as a nation.

    Maradona was the platonic ideal of a pibe, all virtuoso skill and impetuous cunning. He captured the spirit Borocotó made immortal more than any player — more than anyone could have thought possible — not just when he was a teenager, fresh from the potrero, but throughout his career.

  • Like Lucio Battisti and Pavarotti the greatest Italian singers Diego will always have a place in the heart of the Italians

    Not exactly the second Björling but at least he did not help himself with the hands. RIP

    Can we please skip Maradona here? (Argentinian musician who is just fed up with him. And please, don’ t explain me that he was a great football player: I’ve seen him live-a great pleasure. But let’s give us a break….)

      There are other people on here apart from yourself! You don’t need to read or listen to any if it. This guy was unique in the world Argentinian or not, a football fan or not, the likes of which we won’t ever see again. May he rest in peace and his memory live on.
