Argentine football star, Diego Armando Maradona has passed on.

Report says he died at the age of 60 following a heart attack.

His sad demise occurred a few days after he marked his 60th birthday.

According to Mail Online, he died at home. His lawyer revealed he passed on just two weeks after having surgery on a blot clot in his brain.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time on the pitch, his life off the pitch was equally notorious – amid battles with drug and alcohol addiction.

Maradona won the World Cup with Argentina in 1986, having knocked England out of the tournament in a match which saw him score the famous ‘Hand of God’ goal.

May His Soul Rest In Peace!
