Maradona had died after suffering a heart attack at his home in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, those close to him confirmed. He was largely responsible for Argentina's World Cup victory in 1986 in Mexico, scoring two famous goals in one game against England in the quarter-finals. And, after the 1986 World Cup triumph in Mexico, he also coaxed a mediocre Argentine team to a second successive World Cup final in Rome in 1990. He was banned again for 15 months after testing positive for drugs at the 1994 World Cup in the United States. "He will always be forgiven," said Maradona fan Marcelo Pose, a Buenos Aires attorney.
