Argentina legend Diego Maradona believes he would have been a "phenomenal" footballer had he not become addicted to drugs.
The former Barcelona and Napoli attacker guided the national team to
two World Cup finals - including their victorious 1986 success - but was
banned from football for 15 months in 1991 for failing a drugs test.
Even with your Drug issues Sir,we still consider you one of the greatest,if not the greatest to have played the beautiful game.Continue to see what he said ...
In the years since hanging up his boots he has experienced health
issues as a result of substance abuse and revealed how he has paid for
his excesses in later life.
"If I had not taken drugs I'd have been a phenomenal player," Maradona told TyC Sports.
"Before arriving in Europe, I knew that with my technique I would
have eaten up defenders. When the ball was between my feet, others
couldn't help but get excited.
"However, my daughters know that their old man - even though I am 53
years old - in reality it is as if I am 78 because my life has not been
normal. It's as if I had lived 80 years."
