Diego Armando Maradona
"God makes me play well. That is why I always make the sign of the cross when I
walk out onto the field. I feel I would be betraying Him if I didn't."
"It was as if we had beaten a country, more than just a football team."
"It was the hand of God."
"It was like pick-pocketing the English and stealing a win."
"When I wear the national team shirt, its sole contact with my skin makes it
stand on an end"
"I saw death close up and I wanted them to cover me, to caress me. When God
decides it's time, I guess He'll come for us."
"I had the vote of the people. Pele won by the book."
"I was, I am and I always will be a drug addict. A person who gets
involved in drugs has to fight it every day."
