One of my biggest idols is Diego Maradona, because like many South American footballers his upbringing was diificult in the slums of Buenos Aires.
Not only did he overcome the drawbacks of little money and opportunity, he became the greatest footballer of all time and won all the biggest trophies and awards on offer.
Even after breaking on to the football scene and being recognised as a truly great player, he was consistantly faced with challenges and hardship. Despite this, he stood up to those who were being unfair to him, his family and countrymen, and is know recognised as not only a football legend, but a national hero for aAgentina.
