Maradona no more

Reports in Argentina said football legend Diego Maradona suffered a cardiac arrest yesterday and has died at the age of 60.

Argentine newspapers Clarin and Ole claim the World Cup winner suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest on Wednesday morning local time in the town of Tigre.

Later, news agency AFP was among a host of outlets to tweet that the legend had died.

Maradona, who won Argentina's second World Cup in 1986 almost single-handedly, only recently had surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain, following a fall.
