Diego Maradona has died aged 60.
-
Perhaps the greatest to ever play the beautiful game, Maradona passed away this morning at home in Tigre after reportedly suffering a heart attack.
-
A unique player and a character like no other Diego reached the highest heights in football leading Argentina to World Cup glory in 1986. His death aged just 60 is a gut wrenching blow to all that love the beautiful game.
-
He dreamed it, he lived it and he loved it. Rest in Peace Diego.

Another great of the game has left us. Jack Charlt

Another great of the game has left us. Jack Charlton won the hearts of Ireland as he guided the Boys in Green to Euro ‘88, Italia ‘90 and USA ‘94. The word legend is used flippantly these days but Jack was that and more. Rest easy Big Jack.

One of the true greats of Formula 1, Sir Stirling

One of the true greats of Formula 1, Sir Stirling Moss, has died at the age of 90.
-
Often referred to as the greatest driver never to win the world championship, Moss contested 66 Grands Prix from 1951 to 1961, driving for the likes of Vanwall, Maserati and Mercedes, where he famously formed a contented and ruthlessly effective partnership with lead driver Juan Manuel Fangio.
-
May he rest in peace.
