Although perceptions of Argentinian football has long been framed by the tenacity, speed and creativity combined with skill and the tendency towards ill-discipline, the advent of the stupendously skilled Diego Armando Maradona took football into a new realm. Though not in the more traditional hero mould of figures such as Pele, Puskas, or Cruyff, Maradona’s play and antics made him familiar to a greater share of the global population than any of his famous predecessors. He elicited love and admiration across the globe whilst also stirring controversy and enmity most notably in England, following the infamous “Hand of God” moment in the 1986 World Cup final.
With the memory of Argentina’s victory at the Qatar 2022 World Cup still fresh, Maradona, A Socio-Cultural Study is a timely and fascinating read. This ground-breaking work contextualises the position of football in Argentinian popular culture, whilst at the same time endeavouring to place and critically analyse Maradona’s role in articulating and conveying Argentine national identity. This is a task that the editors undertake through an examination of his status as a sporting hero and place as a socio-political figurehead.

making the claim to be the best player in the history of the sport - and more
fortunate still that we can watch the contest between Lionel Messi and Cristiano
Ronaldo play out, week in and week out, live before a global audience of billions.
Thanks to YouTube, I can watch high-quality videos of their most compelling
performances, and of every goal they've ever scored.
When Diego Maradona was staking his claim to the title of best ever, most of the
world could only get a quadrennial glimpse of his genius, when he turned out for
Argentina in the '82, '86, '90 and '94 World Cups. Growing up in India during that
period, I never saw highlights of his performances for FC Barcelona or Napoli (a
city where he's still regarded as part deity, part royalty).
There are now some video highlights online that preserve a grainy record of him in
his pomp - including THAT goal against England in the Azteca Stadium on June 22,
1986. But these only hint at what he was capable of. They don't constitute
sufficient supporting evidence to the argument that he was the best ever.
What makes it harder still is the even scarcer evidence for claimants of previous
generations: Hungary's Ferenc Puskas, Spain and Argentina's Alfredo di Stefano,
Brazil's Pele,
