Your tributes and memories of Diego Maradona
Aleksander Pagels: I was in South Africa 2010 with my dad and I supported Argentina purely because Maradona was their coach (I'm Danish). One of the greatest ever, 60 years is no age. Rest in peace.
Chris Baldwin: Of course Pele was great but was part of the greatest Brazil teams of all time. Maradona won the ‘86 World Cup on his own and definitely got them to the ‘90 final single handedly. Forget the hand ball vs England - I blame the officials for not seeing it. Greatest ever.
John McEnerney: Genius. Legend.
Post update
Another sporting legend, former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, says the world of sport has "lost one of its greatest players".
If you haven't yet watched the video of Diego Maradona's iconic warm-up while at Napoli, I urge you to.
It's everything that was great about him.
'You earned it more than enough'
Former Barcelona, Liverpool and Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano, who made 147 appearances for Argentina, tweeted this tribute: "Eternally thanks Diego for everything you gave us!!
Rest in peace. You earned it more than enough."
A statement from Manchester United legend Bryan Robson on Diego Maradona. He played against Maradona while he played for Barcelona in 1984.
"What
a player he was - undoubtedly the best of his era and up there with the likes
of Pele among the greatest ever.
"He won the 1986 World Cup for Argentina more or less on his own. The football
he played and the goals he scored in that tournament were unbelievable.
"He
went past five players to score against England in the quarter-final and then
did exactly the same against Belgium in the semi-final. He was a real character too. I played with him in quite a few charity games
and he was a great person to be around.
"Of
course, we met in 1984 as well. It was a great evening for us and people still
talk about it 36 years later.
"To come back from 2-0 down against Barcelona is a great result
at any time, but to do it against a team containing Maradona and Bernd Schuster
made it even more special."It’s a sad day for football but he leaves us with some fantastic memories."
Diego Maradona special
For more reaction on the death of Diego Maradona, you can listen to a special programme on BBC Radio 5 Live tonight at 22:00 GMT.
More from Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin: "I was in touch recently to wish
him well, and this news comes as a considerable shock to me.
“Diego
Maradona achieved greatness as a wonderful player with a genius and charisma of
his own. He was a hero in his native Argentina, with whom he enjoyed World Cup
glory, and became an eternal idol for the supporters of Napoli, who will never
forget the successes he brought to the club during his memorable spell in
Italy.
“He
will go down in history as someone who set football alight and thrilled fans
young and old with his brilliance and skill. I have instructed Uefa to hold a
minute’s silence in memory of Diego at this week’s matches."
