Maradona played for seven years for the club, which is reportedly considering to name their stadium after Maradona. Football legend Diego Armando Maradona died Wednesday (Nov. 25), suffering cardiac arrest at home in Tigre, Argentina. Maradona underwent successful surgery on Nov. 4 for a blood clot in his brain, his doctor Leopoldo Luque said. Maradona netted one of his iconic goals with his hand while playing against England in the 1986 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals but the referee was unable to see his trick. "The hand of God" goal eliminated England 2-1 in Argentina’s march to the tournament glory. Maradona, 25 at the time, was the team’s captain when he helped his nation win the 1986 World Cup. Known for his pace, highly-skilled technique, and dribbling skills, he was a versatile player on the pitch who could play as an attacking midfielder and forward. He played for Argentina in four World Cup tournaments -- Spain 82, Mexico 86, Italy 90, and the US 94. He made 21 World Cup appearances, scoring eight goals and eight assists. In addition to a World Cup victory, Maradona helped Argentina get as far as the final match in the 1990 World Cup, only to lose against West Germany. He scored 34 goals in 90 international caps for Argentina. Maradona played for Argentina's Boca Juniors, Spanish clubs Barcelona and Sevilla, and Italian club Napoli. The Argentine national was a beloved Napoli player, winning two Italian Serie A titles in 1987 and 1990, as well as the 1989 UEFA Cup with Napoli.
