Diego Armando Maradona - (El Pibe de Oro("The Golden Boy"), D10S)

He was the greatest. I have no words to describe the way he played. He played, He managed and He conquered. He was widely regarded as the greatest player of all time even in 2020. He was one of the two joint winners of FIFA Player of the 20th Century award. His vision, passing, ball control and dribbling skills were just on some other level and he was a terror for the defenders on the field. His presence and leadership on the field had a great effect on his team's general performance.
