Rest in peace, Diego Maradona.

"RIO DE JANEIRO — He was first a soccer player. One of — if not the — greatest. But as the world reacted to the death of Argentine soccer icon Diego Maradona on Wednesday, it became clear that he will be remembered as much more than just an athlete.

He was the unrepentant antihero of England’s most painful soccer story, knocking in a goal with his fist in Argentina’s 1986 victory over England in the World Cup quarterfinals.

He was the most bitter of rivals in soccer-mad Brazil, dazzling on the field and maddening off it. “Go back to the museum,” he once told Pelé.

He was the outspoken supporter of the Latin American left, befriending Venezuela’s so************************t president Hugo Chávez and tattooing an image of Argentine-born revolutionary leader Ernesto “Che” Guevara on his left biceps and one of Fidel Castro on his left calf."
