Pele’s tribute to Diego Maradona: I hope to play football with him in the sky one day

Pele leads tributes to Argentina legend Diego Maradona, who has died of a heart attack aged 60.

Maradona, who played for clubs including Barcelona and Napoli, was captain when Argentina won the 1986 World Cup, scoring the famous ‘Hand of God’ goal against England in the quarter-finals.

Former Tottenham midfielder Ardiles, who played alongside Maradona at the 1982 World Cup, said he was “a god” in Argentina, in Naples and all around the world.

“That was the Maradona phenomenon – all the time.”
