Diego Maradona in action in a charity match in May and with Brazilian legend Zico, right
Where: The Olympic Stadium, Rome, Italy.

When: 12 May, 2008.

Who: Maradona donned his boots and took part in the 'Derby of the heart', a charity football match organised between two teams comprising football legends (including Zico, pictured right), popular Italian singers and many other famous sportsmen.

What he says: "Playing football has always given me a unique peace. Give me a ball and I'll have fun, it's always been like that. I did it in Villa Fiorito where I grew up, I did it in the Maracana and Wembley.

"I will never be anything but grateful for what football has given to my life."
