Napoli shared a message on social media to commemorate Diego Maradona on the day of his birthday: ‘On this day, the greatest of all time was born.’
The legendary Argentinean striker was born in Lanus, Argentina on October 30, 1960, so he would have turned 61 today.
Maradona died from a heart attack at his home in Tigre, on November 25, 2020, nearly one year ago.
Many are remembering his birthday on social media, including his former club Napoli.
“#OnThisDay in 1960, the greatest of all time was born. Happy birthday, Diego,” the Azzurri wrote on Twitter, sharing a picture of the former striker wearing his iconic Azzurri shirt.
Maradona will be remembered with a friendly encounter between Barcelona and Boca Juniors in Saudi Arabia in December.
Napoli won’t take part in it because of economic and organizational reasons, but the Partenopei are preparing for their own friendly against Maradona’s first club Argentinos Juniors.
