Book Description Paperback. Condition: New. Fine condition. Bloomsbury Publishing, 2010. First edition of this revised edition published in 2010 for the World Cup. Small format paperback (small nick on the edges of the back cover) in fine condition. Illustrated with b/w photos. The book is new with two small ink marks on the outer edges of the pages, two small creases on the edges of the pages. 290pp including index. This is another paragraph Book Description: Diego Maradona, is arguably the greatest and certainly the most widely-known footballer of the modern age. During his tempestuous career he played for top clubs in South America and Europe, and was a central figure in four World Cups. With the fortunes he has earned from sponsorship and transfer deals, he personified football, both as popular sport and big business. Jimmy Burns pursued his research in several countries on both sides of the Atlantic, gaining access to Maradona's inner circle, and to other key witnesses, such as players, managers, trainers, doctors and officials. The result is a story straddling the international scene, from the slums of Buenos Aires, where Maradona was born, to the huge stadiums of the United States from where, in 1994, he was ignobly expelled after undergoing a positive drugs test. In his rise to fame - and notoriety - Maradona played for some of the world's greatest teams: Boca Juniors, Napoli and Barcelona. He scored some brilliant goals - and cheated with others. He provoked fans into a mass hysteria of adulation, and his enemies into sinister campai. Now, as coach of Argentina, he is leading the country into the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. This new edition brings the story of Maradona completely up to date. First edition of this revised edition published in 2010 for the World Cup. Seller Inventory # 11751
