The latest in a Guardian Print Shop series featuring classic sports images. This week’s picture pays homage to the Argentinian maestro Diego Maradona, who died last month at the age of 60
Since Diego Maradona’s death in November, countless tributes have been paid to the Argentinian maestro and World Cup winner from fellow icons within the game. His long-time rival Pelé wrote a poignant message on Instagram: “Many people loved to compare us all their lives. You were a genius that enchanted the world. A magician with the ball at his feet. A true legend … I want to say that you are incomparable.” His compatriot and mentee Lionel Messi wrote: “He leaves us but does not leave because Diego is eternal.” But it’s a quote from Maradona himself which seems most apt when recalling his famous exploits for La Albiceleste: “No matter what happens and no matter who is in charge, the No 10 shirt will always be mine.”
