The world is remembering **Diego Maradona** who has died at the age of 60.

The colourful soccer star who was considered by many as the greatest player in the world, suffered a heart attack at his home in Buenos Aires.

He was a joint winner of the FIFA Player of the 20th Century Award with Brazilian star **Pelé,** won club titles for Argentina and Italy and took his national side to a World Cup win in 1986.
