Today (October 30) marks the 63rd birthday of the football legend, Diego Maradona.

Born in 1960 in Lanus, Buenos Aires, Argentina, this magician had mesmerized the football world with his skills. 

Though some consider Pele, Lionel Messi, or Cristiano Ronaldo as worthy contenders, Maradona has always been a fan favorite.

Maradona's own words reflect his colorful career and life. His skillful control of the ball, speedy crossing of defenders, and many historic goals have cemented his place as one of the greatest footballers of all time.

Many still believe that "Maradona is the only shining star at the pinnacle of excellence." 

Maradona gained notoriety for his infamous 'Hand of God' goal that eliminated England from the 1986 tournament.
