Diego Maradona 1960-2020 It was a dream come true I’d emptied my savings tin My broad smile stretched From Bognor to Berlin I would be the proud owner Of a Diego Maradona boot Now the barrel chested ones Latest fanclub recruit Sprinting down Whitechapel Road I dragged along me Mam Dropping a shopping bag en route Shattering a jar of jam "You wear them, you'll play like him" The shop assistant said I believed every single word My beaming smile spread A walking Ambassador I became I put those boots to use On grass, tarmac, concrete Each time I got set loose Wear them on the old sandpitch In the thick of the Berner Estate Not ideal for that surface But that was open to debate Even wore them to school On an odd day or three "Get them off right now!” Hawkeyed Margaret would scream Wore them into the ground Even when they were a goner Yes, the one and only Puma Maradona Goodbye to you Armando A Druid, a one off edition Eternal Gracias Dieguito Footballs flawed magician 25 11 20 number7 © emdad rahman #diego #diegoarmandomaradona #diegomaradona #maradona #eldiego #boca #bocajuniors #naples #napoli #seville #barcelona #argentina #maradona10 #maradonamovie #naplesitaly #naplesfootball #pumamaradona #worldcup1986 #mexico86 #aztecaarena #maradona60 #argentinosjuniors #coronachronicles #theanfieldtourist #world#theadoptedscouser #thewanderinglondoner (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIBwPsJBsLH/?igshid=159tlf05qk71p
