This is sad. Maradona was a distinct part of my childhood growing up in Eastern Europe where soccer heroes were practically worshipped.
Following Pelé, of course.
A trip down memory lane... RiP.
His best goals (according to YT):

- zuppy 6y agoI remember the Cincin bubble gum surprises with Maradona, Van Basten, Gullit https://colectionaruldesurprize.wordpress.com/03-cincin/ https://colectionaruldesurprize.wordpress.com/03-cincin/ Everybody was collecting them. What a shame he wasted such an amazing talent with drugs. I’m a little sad that one of my childhood heroes is gone. Hasta siempre, Diego Armando Maradona!
- fishtacos 6y agoMy collectables were action hero cards (Van Damme doing splits, Schwarzenegger in Predator, Rocky flexing, etc) we got through random gum packages or some other little candy packing (I was maybe 9-10 in early 90s when this was popular, so not super sure). We traded and collected and I'm pretty sure I have the whole 50 cards or so still in a little baggie somewhere in storage. I also remember Cincin... so perhaps that was where I got them too. Cheers! (from a transplant from Albania) EDIT: Looking at those series of pics you linked to, I can say I do remember them. My friends collected them. It was the biggest thing happening in our lives.
