There are reports in Argentina that Diego Armando Maradona suffered a cardiac arrest today and has died aged 60.

Argentine newspapers Clarin and Ole claim the World Cup winner suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest on Wednesday morning local time in the town of Tigre.

Maradona only recently had surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain, following a fall. Pictures showed ambulances outside Maradona’s home. Following the operation on his brain, there were medical staff who remained at Maradona's home to keep him under observation.

A cardiorespiratory arrest means his heart stopped and he was not breathing, so had to be resuscitated.

According to an updated report by Clarin, Maradona has died.

Ah damn :(

He had surgery recently and I swear they said something along the lines of "He'll be around for a while yet".

Goes without saying, everything you do early in your life catches up with you in the end, true shame but least he got to manage Argentina in a World Cup.

RIP, The Hand of God, greatest player ever. My first World Cup was Mexico’86 when I was 7 years old. Maradona made football a part of my life.

Most exciting player ever most likely. Not so blessed of the pitch sadly. Rest in peace.

RIP to one of the greatest in the game, if not the greatest, sad day for sports, and not just football, everyone knows who he is.

Feck. Not exactly surprising but feck. The best player to ever grace a football pitch.

Was lucky enough to see him play live against Utd for Barcelona in the Cup Winners Cup - the night Robbo scored twice and we overturned a 2-0 first leg deficit.
A true football genius (2nd goal v England)- but undoubtedly a flawed genius (1st goal v England & drug abuse)
RIP
