Diego Maradona Personally Signed Napoli Jersey

Framed Size: 800 x 1000 (mm)
Certificate of Authenticity: Yes

Diego Maradona, the greatest football player of all time, has hand signed this Napoli retro jersey.

At Napoli, Maradona reached the peak of his professional career. He quickly became an adored star among the club's fans, and in his time there he elevated the team to the most successful era in its history. Maradona played for Napoli at a period when North-South tensions in Italy were at a peak due to a variety of issues, notably the economic differences between the two. Led by Maradona, Napoli won their first ever Serie A Italian Championship in 1986/87. The celebrations were tumultuous. A rolling series of impromptu street parties and festivities broke out contagiously across the city in a round-the-clock carnival which ran for over a week. The world was turned upside down. The Neapolitans held mock funerals for Juventus and Milan, burning their coffins, their death notices announcing 'May 1987, the other Italy has been defeated. A new empire is born.' Murals of Maradona were painted on the cities ancient buildings, and new born children were named in his honor.
