@kandiietheestie: Naples loves Diego Maradona because he was the city's ultimate underdog hero. When he joined in 1984, the poorer, overlooked south of Italy was often mocked by the wealthy north. Maradona rejected richer clubs and led Napoli to their first-ever league titles in 1987 and 1990. He was more than a player. He was a champion of the people! Maradona grew up in extreme poverty in Argentina. He knew what it was like to be an outsider. Because of this, locals did not just see a famous athlete. They saw one of their own. #Maradona #Naples
