  The story of Diego Maradona, the Argentinian (阿根廷) football player, is the story of rise and fall of a poor man who became a world star, but paid the price of fame (名誉). He is now at the end of a career (职业生涯) which saw him as the bright star of World Cup Football. In the 1990s,this career has come into the poor performance on the field, drug-taking, speaking ill of football officials, being forbidden and finally facing court (法庭) action in which he has had the defend charges (指控) of shooting at several reporters.

  Maradona was born in the poor area of Furito in Buenos Aires. Early in his life, he was able to realize a dream of most poor boys, the dream that is the way out of poverty-trap through success in sport. Sport in the world around is an activity open to all people, no matter what their background (背景) is.

  Diego Maradona is one of eight children. His father is an Italian and mother an Italian. The games of football played in the ditty street outside his small white storeyed home in Furito were to provide him with a passport (护照) out of the small home. Today, poorly dressed boys still run and kick balls around the street from which a hero traveled to become one of the world's great football artists.

  Football expert Francis Corneo found Diego's gift. He says that the young played “a natural” and there was nothing he could teach him. He had never seen anyone played like him in his thirty years' life.
