Maradona meant so much to so many people. During 80s when Argentine people were going through ugliest economic crises and poverty, Diego brought joy ,smile and ray of hope for many Argentine by winning 1986 world cup .
My first induction with Diego started in 1992 with wrong reason when I found a news article with Diego's picture where he found tested positive taking banned drugs. There after I started following Maradona and Argentina football .The man who made me fall in love with Argentina’s football, a real magician and an idol of so many young kids to follow his step and brilliant in football arena. He brought happiness to millions despite publicly fighting his own personal demons.
I just want to say that Maradona was not perfect. he was human with a lot of flaws and a lot of mistakes but we loved him because exactly he was human. Life had given so many chances ,opportunities to Maradona to uplift his ugly ,enigmatic , unhealthy personal lifestyle . No one in the world would have had that love , affections , gratitude by the people around the world that Diego had during his good and bad times .sadly Diego never taken people's love , gratitude in positive way to enhance his lifestyle in good way .
80s Diego was idol , legend, inspirations for so many people . Even 90s Diego was himself idolizing and searching that 80s phenomenal , charismatic legend but unfortunately he never found it ..
