These Football Times – Diego

These Football Times ist ein englisches Fußball­magazin, das seit 2011 unabhängig vertrieben wird. In der Sonder­ausgabe zu seinem Leben wurde der junge Diego Maradona als Spieler bei den Boca Juniors und der spätere Maradona als Team­manager der argentinischen National­mannschaft illustriert.

„We’re all a little bit of Diego Maradona – and that’s what makes him so special, so unique. Through his good times and bad, his genius and mistakes, so many of us mere mortals could see ourselves in him. Never has there been a talent quite like El Pibe, and never will be there be a cult like his.

To celebrate the life and legacy of Maradona, we’ve created this special edition charting his 60 years, from the streets of Villa Fiorito to the highs of 1986, and the lows that followed. What shaped Maradona? What made him special? And why should we look twice at Diego the manager?“
