Diego Maradona

If I could apologise and go back and change history I would do. But the goal is still a goal, Argentina became world champions and I was the best player in the world

God makes me play well. That is why I always make the sign of the cross when I walk out onto the field. I feel I would be betraying Him if I didn't.

When I wear the national team shirt, its sole contact with my skin makes it stand on an end.

To see the ball, to run after it, makes me the happiest man in the world

There are hundreds of Beckhams playing football all over the world.

To see my country lose a football match is very hard for someone who has worn the shirt.

I'd give my life to be the national team coach.

If you don't want to play clean football then go up into the stands

I am Maradona, who makes goals, who makes mistakes. I can take it all, I have shoulders big enough to fight with everybody.
