Diego Maradona Argentina Hoodie | Players Couture Icon Frame Collection
Diego Maradona is the most naturally gifted footballer who ever lived. That is a statement that billions of people across the world would not argue with. From the streets of Buenos Aires to the greatest stages world football could offer, he did things with a football that no one before or since has replicated. This Maradona hoodie from Players Couture is for fans of the Argentina legend who want to wear the name of a player whose talent was absolute. Fan apparel built around the most complete individual genius the game has ever seen.
Maradona was born in Lanús, Buenos Aires, in 1960, and grew up in Villa Fiorito, one of the most deprived barrios of the Argentine capital. He began playing football in the streets and his ability was noticed immediately. He joined Argentinos Juniors as a teenager and made his professional debut at just 15. From his earliest appearances it was clear that he was different. His low centre of gravity, his close control, his ability to change direction at speed and his left foot, which seemed to bend the laws of physics around a football, set him apart from everyone around him from the moment he started playing.
He moved to Boca Juniors, then to Barcelona, and then in 1984 to Napoli, where he had the greatest period of his club career. He transformed a club that had never won the Serie A title into champions, leading them to two league titles, a Coppa Italia and the UEFA Cup. In a city where he became a god, he played the best football of his club career and gave Naples something they had never had before. Napoli supporters still speak of him the way no other player has been spoken about in the city.
For Argentina, Maradona is the defining figure of their football history. He led the country to the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, the greatest individual World Cup performance by a single player in the history of the tournament. He scored five goals including the two most famous goals ever scored in the same match — the Hand of God against England in the quarter-final, and the Goal of the Century three minutes later, a run from the halfway line that took him past five England players and left Peter Shilton stranded. He was voted the greatest goal in World Cup history. Argentina won the tournament and Maradona won the Golden Ball as the best player. He passed away in November 2020 at the age of 60. His legacy is eternal. Explore more from the football fanwear collection at Players Couture.
