Maradona: The Autobiography of Soccer's Greatest and Most Controversial Star - Hardcover

Never has Diego Maradona’s extraordinary story been told in his own words—until now.  A poor boy from a Buenos Aires shantytown, Maradona’s genius with a soccer ball took him to the heights of South American, European, and world soccer. Here the greatest player of his generation, and perhaps of all time, tells his tale: the pressures of being a child prodigy, the infamous “Hand of God” goal against England in the 1986 World Cup, his roller coaster seasons in Italy’s top league, and the disgrace of his positive drug test at the 1994 World Cup. In this amazingly honest autobiography, he reveals the truth about his fame, his talent, and his weaknesses. It makes for dramatic reading.
