		However, Maradona showed the other side of his nature just a couple of minutes later in the same match, by running half the length of the pitch and beating almost the entire English team along the way, to score what is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful goals in football history.
		Maradona left Napoli in 1992, after serving a 15 month ban for failing a drug test, and played for Sevilla FC(1992-93), Newell's Old Boys[?] (1993) and Boca Juniors (1995-97), without much success.
		Maradona's brother is a soccer player too, and his illegitimate child is now trying to start a career in soccer, but he does not appear to have inherited his father's skills.

		The truth about Maradona lies in none of these incarnations but rather in the contradictory sum of his parts; he is ultimately an enigmatic yet sincere human being, a brazen child from the slums who suddenly found himself dining with popes and was unafraid to speak his mind.
		No matter is too delicate for Maradona's acerbic tongue: the discrimination endured by southern Italians in their homeland as perceived during his playing days in Naples, the corruption of the Catholic Church, his lifelong addiction to cocaine, and his strained relationship with the politicians and bureaucrats who have used him when convenient, among other issues.

		Diego Armando Maradona is one of the greatest players in the history of soccer!
		His first goal was the notorious "Hand of God" goal, but when he dribbled through 9 English players and defeated the goalkeeper scoring an amazing goal, Maradona put his claim on the world prooving to set the standard for excellence.
