Darling of the Neapolitans, Diego Maradona dazzled the whole of Italy when he arrived at Napoli from Barcelona. He was, arguably, the greatest player Serie A has ever known
Whenever Diego Armando Maradona goes to meet his maker he will certainly have a few stories to tell. Saint Peter had better pull up a comfortable chair at the pearly gates and prepare to hear a lengthy list of incredible tales. The lifetime of the little Argentine has never fallen far short of extraordinary.
His impact on world football has been tremendous, but his effect on the Italian game was positively seismic. He ripped up the unwritten rule that teams from south of Rome had no hope of winning the Scudetto. He took a club that had made an art form out of underachievement and turned it into a European heavyweight. By his mere presence he helped to ensure that Serie A became the undisputed best League in the world. In the process he won the undying love of an entire city.
The tale of Maradona’s Neapolitan adventure can be told in a series of images which remain crystal clear in my mind. The first is of a bright, sunny day at the San Paolo Stadium with a little figure in its centre circle. He kicks the ball high into the air to be met with rapturous applause. Tens of thousands of success-starved Napoli fans had turned out just to see their new hero unveiled to the public. The weight of expectation was intense but he did not let them down.
In truth, the Pibe d’Oro – Golden Child – had been envied by Europe since the first pictures of him juggling a football as a youngster were flashed around the world. It was Barcelona who brought him to the continent, shortly after a 1982 World Cup which had brought more frustrations than joy to the young player. He made a powerful impression on La Liga over a couple of years but it would never become his spiritual home. A terrible injury inflicted by Andoni Goikoetxea in 1983 threatened to kill his career just short of his 23rd birthday. Instead, he came back stronger than before and made his move to Italy in the summer of 1984.
His capture for a little under £7m was a bold statement of intent by a club with serious ambitions to rival the traditional big teams of the north – Inter, Juventus and, above all, Milan. There have been a lot of attempts to portray what happened at Napoli as a single-handed success for the mercurial Maradona. In truth, however, the Azzurri had put together a strong side around him which contained plenty of Italian internationals and, in due course, a couple of top quality Brazilians in Alemao and Careca. There is no doubt that the Argentine was the star around which this universe revolved, but he was not without some able assistants. That such a team could be constructed in such a volatile location was nothing short of a miracle – like putting a palace on top of Vesuvius.
“It is difficult to build something in a city like Naples,” admitted club President Corrado Ferlaino. “There is always someone sniping at you, always somebody who doesn’t want you to succeed either for their own interests or some other motive. Certainly, it is almost impossible to work here.”
And yet, for a while at least, Napoli became the very heart of Italian football. Looking back, it is clear Maradona gave a different rhythm to Serie A. At the time, the undisputed monarch of the division was Michel Platini, the man they called Le Roi – The King. His elegance and style fitted perfectly with the aristocratic ideals of Juventus. In time, Milan’s cosmopolitan feel would be enhanced by the glamour-filled Dutch trio of Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard and Marco Van Basten. Over at Inter, they would emphasise their northern roots with the good German stock of Lothar Matthaus, Andy Brehme and Jurgen Klinsmann. None of them would have fitted in at Napoli.
Maradona was in touch with his new city and its fans from day one – it was as if he had a hotline to their soul. He knew what it meant to feel like an underdog. And he played his football with the guile, passion and occasional subterfuge which suited his new surroundings perfectly. Naples at last felt it had a team which could compete with the rest of Italy – and on its own terms.
This is where my second image of Diego’s career clicks in. He scored countless wonderful goals but one which remains with me is an audacious indirect free-kick against Juventus from inside the penalty box. Most players in that position would elect to blast the ball but instead Maradona chose a seemingly impossible option. With the ball rolled to his feet, he scooped it over the wall and it dipped into the net to the amazement of almost everyone in the ground. Such astonishing acts became the hallmark of his time in Serie A.
The rewards did not come overnight at Napoli but they were worth the wait. Two Scudetti, a couple of second place League finishes, a Coppa Italia, the UEFA Cup and the Italian Super Cup were delivered to supporters who had scarcely sniffed a trophy before his arrival. In seven glorious years the Napoletani enjoyed honours beyond their wildest dreams. The San Paolo, between 1983 and 1991, was the only place to be if you wanted to experience the true drama and passion that Italian football had to offer.
If you want the third image of the relationship between Maradona and Italy, it probably comes at the World Cup in 1990. When Argentina met the Azzurri in Naples, the talismanic figure dared to say what many people probably thought. He felt Napoli fans should be supporting his nation rather than their home country. In some quarters it was felt that he had gone too far and when his team knocked Italy out of the World Cup there were great feelings of resentment. Within a few months Maradona was banned from the game for cocaine use and his Italian dream had come to an acrimonious end.
With his departure, Napoli lost their way too. The club has never been able to rediscover the form it enjoyed when he played for them and seems to be in constant search of the heir to his throne. Ezequiel Lavezzi is the latest player to be lumbered with the onerous task of trying to live up to Maradona. It is unlikely anyone will ever manage it, given the level of success he achieved. Italian football has never seen the likes of Diego Armando Maradona and, in truth, it probably never will again.
“He was the best player in the world, probably the best there ever was,” recalled Gianfranco Zola who inherited his role at Napoli. “Being able to train with him and measure myself against him was a unique experience. The thing that struck me most about him was that he could do all the things with a ball I had dreamed of.”

Re: Happy 50th Pibe d’Oro
The God, the bad and the ugly
Artist, party animal, hero, villain, intellectual muse, populist icon, the ultimate poor boy come good and torn apart by his own demons.
Ask any Italian football fan who the greatest import into Serie A was and they’ll reply Diego Armando Maradona. He is still treated as a God in Naples with giant murals plastering the city walls and thousands of young men who can say their parents named him after El Pibe de Oro.
In Argentina there is a Church of Maradona complete with calendar starting from his birthday – 0 d.D. However, Diego transcends club loyalty as one of those figures who made football into an art form. Intellectuals held conventions to discuss his importance to the culture of Italy, while underprivileged Neapolitans took him to be the ultimate poor boy who found fame and fortune.
His story is that of the classic football legend. Growing up in the shantytown of Villa Fiorito outside Buenos Aires, he learned to play in the streets and was spotted by a talent scout when only 10-years-old. The tiny terror was already hogging the spotlight at 12, when as a ball boy he would entertain the crowd with tricks and skills during half-time.
From Boca, where he was only on loan, to Barcelona for what was then a world transfer record £5m in 1982, his career was almost terminated by hepatitis that kept him out for three months and a broken leg that would forever rob him of 30 per cent of the mobility in that ankle. The next time he faced the player who had caused the injury – Athletic Bilbao’s Andoni Goikoetxea – the fiery Argentine took out his frustration by sparking a huge brawl.
Napoli invested another record fee of £6.9m in 1984 and Diego was welcomed as the saviour of the club with 70,000 packed into the San Paolo for his presentation on July 5. The fans unfurled a huge banner that read: ‘There are many stars in the sky of Naples, Maradona shines brighter than them all.’
He was almost the death of it too, as it’s rumoured President Corrado Ferlaino didn’t have the cash to complete the transfer, so deposited an empty envelope with the authorities, ready to put the contract in there at a later date. It took two seasons before the rest of the team caught up with him and 1986 was the year he truly became the legend.
After the triumph of the World Cup, complete with Mano de Dios as well as the Goal of the Century in the same game against England, Maradona conquered Napoli’s first Scudetto on May 10, 1987, and the Coppa Italia, sparking a party in the city streets that lasted for weeks. Statues were given blue jerseys and a famous sign hung over the cemetery: ‘They don’t know what they missed!’
“A Scudetto in Naples is worth three times as much as elsewhere,” confessed Diego. Despite dominating for long periods of the next campaign and Maradona’s Capocannoniere title of 15 goals, Milan leapfrogged Napoli in the final weeks. His team added the UEFA Cup to its haul and in 1989-90, after a period on the sidelines, Maradona was decisive in taking them to another Scudetto.
It all started to go wrong for Diego at Italia ’90. Knowing how much of a hero he was to the people of Naples, he urged the locals to support his Argentina against Italy in the San Paolo semi-final. “The north doesn’t consider Naples to be a part of Italy, but you are my people. I understand the Neapolitans.” A large portion of the crowd followed his advice and he scored in the penalty shoot-out victory after a 1-1 draw. The people of Rome retaliated by jeering throughout the national anthem in the Final with Germany, which ended with the famous images of Maradona sobbing at the 1-0 defeat.
Although Napoli won the Italian Super Cup by demolishing Juventus 5-1, he was starting to think himself bigger than the team. Maradona hired a private jet to attend the European Cup game at Spartak Moscow, turning up a day later than his teammates. He racked up thousands of pounds in fines for missing training and even games.
Off the field, his life was also swept up by unsavoury characters, an illegitimate son that to this day he will not acknowledge and on May 17, 1991, he tested positive for cocaine after a Serie A match with Bari. The 15-month ban was the end of Maradona’s Napoli career.
Sevilla, Newell’s Old Boys and Boca Juniors followed with his weight ballooning and star waning. The 1994 World Cup prompted another doping scandal and his expulsion from the tournament, but he eventually hung up his boots on October 30, 1997, the day of his 37th birthday.
Despite the ravages of time and his controversial career as Coach, director of sport and even chat show host, Maradona remains an almost biblical figure in Naples. There is a shrine with his photograph in the Napoli jersey on Via San Biagio de Librai, where fans can pray to their football God before games.
There was a convention of intellectuals called Te Diegum – a play on Te Deum, the Christian song of praise – to discuss his contribution to the world. “We are not here to talk about football, but of Art with a capital A. We celebrate the seven years spent in ecstasy at your left foot. Diego was the living embodiment of Beauty. Diego is Neapolitan. Among the various reasons for our love there is that recognition of the scugnizzo – the creative, smart, rule-breaking, often impertinent, but always generous poor kid from the streets.”
The mutual love story isn’t over yet. He has been invited for a special game to mark his 50th birthday at the San Paolo and could make it a permanent move. “I have been the manager of Argentina, but my other dream is to be the Coach of Napoli. I spent seven years in Italy, which being in Naples counts as 14, and will always carry those people in my heart.”

Re: Happy 50th Pibe d’Oro
The day I first saw Maradona…
A former resident of Naples, Dave Taylor was fortunate enough to see Diego Armando Maradona in the flesh and at his prime
There will never be anyone like him again. Having watched Diego, I can safely say that. The first time I saw him live, Sir Isaac Newton’s celebrated laws of motion were turned upside down as fantasy football came of age.
Napoli were playing League champions Verona in October 1985 at the Stadio San Paolo. The atmosphere in the Curva B was electric, powered by the prospect of more Maradona wizardry. As the teams took to the field, every set of eyes were transfixed by a single moving figure, that of Diego, as he crossed himself and then kissed the grass.
From the first whistle until the last, I, like everybody else, became totally invested in the captain’s game. And it was the crafty Argentine who played a decisive role. First Bruno Giordano scored with a move started by Diego. Just two minutes after half-time, Salvatore Bagni netted with a wonderful free-kick won by El Pibe de Oro.
Then came a moment of magic that will live with me forever. Maradona simply pulled down the ball from a long pass, spun around 180 degrees and while the ball was in the air, volleyed a magnificent lob over Giuliano Giuliani from 35 yards out on the left flank. Incredible.
With Maradona tearing holes in the Verona defence, hurdling tackles and passing defenders like a hurricane, suddenly, one short burst of unbelievable acceleration found the smallest of gaps to exploit for Daniel Bertoni to score the fourth. Two minutes later Eraldo Pecci grabbed the fifth with another assist from Diego.
The sheer degree of focus on him, from start to finish, was awesome. In the space of 90 minutes, Diego Armando Maradona had shown me a new concept of football, a magnetism that still fascinates me 25 years later. Grazie Diego and Forza Napoli!

Re: Happy 50th Pibe d’Oro
It is Diego Armando Maradona’s 50th birthday and Napoli are celebrating, but former President Corrado Ferlaino reveals “we had to turn a blind eye.”
El Pibe de Oro is still hailed as a legend in Naples and his image adorns murals across the city.
However, his off the field behaviour often caused controversy and it could’ve been even worse.
“Dealing with Maradona was very difficult, but we can say with pride that he was worth it,” former President Ferlaino told Telecapri Sport.
“Ottavio Bianchi, the Coach of the first Scudetto, was very intransigent and wanted a zero tolerance policy.
“I was more accommodating and thought we had to turn a blind eye, as I knew Maradona would’ve enabled us to win a great deal.”
Bianchi himself papered over these disagreements within the club, having won the 1986-87 Scudetto, Coppa Italia and 1989 UEFA Cup.
“Maradona is the greatest player I ever worked with in my career,” said the former Coach.
“Together we won so much and gave unique experiences to the Neapolitan fans. I cared for him as a player and as a man.
“I wish him all the best, that he can celebrate his birthday surrounded by family and friends. For his future, I hope he can keep on enjoying his career. He was a winner and can do well anywhere.”

Re: Happy 50th Pibe d’Oro
Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has delivered Diego Maradona a birthday message, which is effusive in its praise.
The Argentine legend who inspired Napoli to two historic Scudetti turns 50 tomorrow and is the subject of great fanfare in Italy.
“On October 30 1960 a man was born who changed the history of world football, the strongest player of all time, the champion who lifted Napoli into immortal legend,” De Laurentiis wrote in a statement on the club's website.
“Napoli wishes Diego Armando Maradona a happy birthday, 50 intense and extraordinary years like the love that Napoli will always have for its Eternal Artist of football.”

Maradona was king, says Giannini
Roma legend Giuseppe Giannini says that while he was the prince of calcio, Diego Maradona was undoubtedly the king.
The Argentine will celebrate his 50th birthday this weekend and there is no shortage of plaudits raining in from Italy.
Speaking to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, Giannini said: “I was the prince of calcio, but Maradona was the king, the greatest of all.
“As an opponent he was respected by every player. He entertained a lot of people, whether they were Neapolitan or not.
“We are talking about a Martian, an extraterrestrial. Diego has written the history of calcio.
“That semi-final against Argentina in 1990 burns a lot. To have lost on penalties, above all after Caniggia's goal, who had never scored a header.
“That Italian side was formidable. There were many champions and we were the team to beat.”
Currently in charge of Hellas Verona, Giannini was asked whether he would like to coach Roma one day in the future.
“I would like it a lot,” he said. “It's my dream, just as I would like to coach Napoli, the city where I lived for a little while, but I felt the affection of the fans.
“Roma and Napoli are the objectives that every Coach should have.”
