Diego Maradona’s friendly match in Toronto
Diego Armando Maradona, born October 30th 1960 in Lanus Argentina is considered one of the greatest football players of all time. He is best known for leading the Argentine National team to a world cup victory in 1986, as well as helping Napoli win its maiden Serie A titles in 1987 and 1990 respectively. What is a lesser known fact regarding Diego is that in 1996 he played in a one-off friendly match in Toronto, Canada. Suiting up alongside his brother Lalo, Maradona represented Toronto Italia in front of a crowd of 6,000 football crazed fans. Maradona dazzled the spectators, humiliating opponents and even scored directly from a corner. This was to be one of Maradona’s last matches, tying his legacy forever to the city of Toronto.
