Boca Junior
Diego gave Gary a terrific interview, conducted in Spanish, covering the football, the cocaine, the recovery and ducking no aspects of his life. He spoke of tournaments, championships, Burruchaga and Butcher, Reid and Rooney. He thinks England stand a chance in June. The respect between the two former opponents was transparent. What also shone through was Maradona's love for Dalma and Giannina - the daughters he contends saved his life and who give him purpose. Then it was off in the Maradona family car to the wonderful Bombonera stadium to see Boca play Quilmes. River Plate and Independiente had drawn earlier in the day and victory would take the blue-and-yellows top. They duly delivered with a 3-1 win and some of the film's outstanding moments.
