Football legend Diego Maradona has died, aged 60, after suffering a cardiac arrest at a home in Tigre, Argentina.

The greatest footballer of his generation had been recuperating from the removal of a blood clot on the brain.

Argentine newspapers Clarin and Ole claim the World Cup winner suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest on Wednesday morning.

Widely considered as one of the greatest footballers of all time, Maradona netted an incredible 38 goals in 58 appearances for Barcelona, whom he joined in 1982, before moving to Napoli in 1984 and winning two Serie A titles in Naples.
