When Maradona was asked who his idol in football was, he replied: “My father was a poor man.
He worked hard from morning till night, doing backbreaking labor.
But when he came home, he would tell us he had gone on a trip to bring us toys.
Every month, he tried his best to fulfill my needs for playing football.
When he grew old, I served him with such devotion, perhaps more than I did for my own children,
to ease the bitterness of those difficult days.

It would be shameful for me to consider anyone else my idol.
He was the only person who put a football in my hands for the first time and encouraged me to play.”
