Legendary Argentinian footballer Diego Maradona has died at the age of 60, the Argentinian football association has said. Maradona, who captained Argentina's 1986 World Cup-winning team, is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time - if not the greatest.
Earlier this month, it emerged he was to undergo surgery for a subdural haematoma, his personal physician told reporters.
A subdural haematoma is a serious condition where a blood clot develops between the skull and the surface of the brain. It is usually caused by a head injury.
