Maradona, Mexico ‘86 - A Performance Unequalled
On Top of the World, Azteca Stadium, Mexico City, July 1986. Maradona kisses the World Cup trophy after Argentina defeated West Germany 3-2 in the final. Maradona was also named Player of the Tournament. In tournament football his was the best performance ever witnessed by the author.Diego Maradona first came to my consciousness way back in 1977. The UK magazine World Soccer was the source which generally quenched my thirst for football news across the globe. The internet of course was a long way off, and in those days you were fortunate to see foreign league results in small print in Monday editions of the quality UK broadsheets.
