Maradona earned 91 caps for Argentina, and represented his country at four World Cups. His second goal against England in the 1986 World Cup quarter-final tie was voted "Goal of the Century" in 2002.

An artist from Argentina is in the process of painting a 40-meter-high mural of football legend Diego Maradona near Buenos Aires. 

Maximiliano Bagnasco was commissioned to create the mural in honour of the late footballing icon. The piece is planned to be finished by 30 October -- in time for what would have been Maradona's 62nd birthday.
