Italian Movie Producer defines what Maradona’ means to Neapolitan’s perfectly

In Paolo Sorrentino’s words ‘Maradona non è arrivato a Napoli è apparso a Napoli ’ - ‘Maradona did not arrive in Naples - He simply Appeared in Naples’

There are no images of his arrival to Naples it is as if he just appeared in the Stadium

Maradona is known as one of the greatest players in the history of sport - He played for SSC NAPOLI from 1984-1991
