Maradona in Barcelona: Fire and Water

By John Ludden

Revised Edition.
Fire and Water.
It may only have been two seasons but they proved of sufficient drama to cement the name of Diego Armando Maradona into FC Barcelona folklore. A period laced equally with controversy and genius. When on the field unplayable, off it uncontrollable. A peasant prince of the slums let loose amid the chic, sophisticated conservative Catalans. Wild, a law unto himself, but such was his talent, a blind eye was turned to excesses that would have shamed the Borgia's. Blessed by the footballing Gods, but cursed with an addiction that in time would prove his ultimate downfall. Cocaine. A flawed Masterpiece? Maybe, but still a darn fine tale. Maradona in Barcelona.
