Goalkeeper who conceded incredible Maradona overhead-kick goal hails his genius & regrets giving away his Napoli shirt

One of the first goalkeepers to concede a goal against Diego Maradona during his spell at Napoli has recalled the "beautiful" way the icon played - as well as his own saves against the star player, and how he gave away the Argentine's match jersey.

World football is in mourning following the death of Maradona on Wednesday at the age of 60 after he suffered a heart attack at his home.

Maradona, a World Cup winner with Argentina in 1986, enjoyed the most successful spell of his club career at Napoli between 1984 and 1991, helping the Naples club win their only two Serie A titles, as well as the 1987 Coppa Italia and the 1989 UEFA Cup.
