7 reasons why Diego Maradona is the most controversial football legend

#5 Kicking a fan

Maradona has a short temper. It is very easy to get on the nerves of the Argentine World Cup-winning legend, which in turn makes him do something barely believable.

One such incident happened during his time at Al Wasl, a club from Dubai, when he was getting his photo clicked in front of a poster that read ‘Te Amo Benja’ – or, ‘I love you Benja [Benjamin, his grandson]’.

While he was looking for the perfect shot, a fan was interrupting him by lifting the poster continuously, he kicked his hand to stop the fan. While it might have been a normal thing to do for a commoner, Maradona is a legend and could have handled it better instead of kicking someone who had no idea of what was going on and just wanted to have a look at him.
