Diego Maradona, regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, has died aged 60. The Argentinian inspired his country to World Cup glory in 1986 when as captain he displayed a level of skill, creativity, strength and desire arguably not seen before or since.  In the 2-1 quarter-final victory over England he also scored perhaps the greatest goal of all time, a match in which the forward also showed his darker, mischievous side with the infamous ‘Hand of God’. In a 2006 BBC interview, Maradona told Gary Lineker, who had scored for England during that match: 'It was my hand … we used to do this' Diego Maradona, one of the greatest footballers of all time, dies aged 60
