File photo - Diego Maradona gives to Pope Francis a light blue-and-white jersey with his Argentine national team number 10 and the name Francisco on it at the Vatican on September 1, 2014. Pope Francis attends a special audience for players and organisers of a charity soccer match that was being played in Rome to promote peace and inter-religious cooperation. Pope Francis read an address to the participants in the Vatican's large audience hall and then each of them filed past the pontiff to greet and have their picture taken with him. Maradona chatted with his compatriot longer than most of the others. The charity match, which was based on a suggestion by the pope, includes active and retired players of various religions. Besides Maradona, participants at the audience in the Vatican included Italy Gianluigi Buffon , Andrea Pirlo, Roberto Baggio , Alessandro del Piero , french David Trezeguet and Argentina Javier Zanetti. Diego Maradona has died from a heart attack just days after turning 60. The Argentinian football legend died at home, his lawyer said, just two weeks after having surgery on a blot clot in his brain. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time on the pitch, his life off the pitch was equally notorious - amid battles with drug and alcohol addiction. Photo by ABACAPRESS.COM
