Legendary footballer Diego Maradona has died at the age of 60.

He suffered a cardiac arrest at his home in Argentina, where he had been recovering from an operation to remove a blood clot from his brain.

Maradona, widely considered to be the greatest footballer of all time, captained Argentina to World Cup glory in 1986. He also won two Serie A titles and a UEFA Cup with Napoli, and was the world's most expensive player following his move from Boca Juniors to Barcelona.

Mark Lawrenson and Miguel Delaney joined us to look back on his career.
