#2 Diego Maradona
Argentina legend Diego Armando Maradona may be regarded by many as the greatest player to ever play football, but I’m not sure even his most ardent fan will fancy his statue. Last year, the World Cup winner was honoured with a statue in Kolkata, India.
The idea was to immortalise Maradona in a model that depicted his younger self lifting the 1986 World Cup. However, the statue turned out worse than anyone could ever imagine. Funnily enough, some even said the statue looked more like former England coach Roy Hodgson than Maradona.
In truth, Maradona’s statue looks better than most of the aforementioned footballers, with his hair and posture the only thing that looked weird. The Napoli legend, though, would not mind. After all, India is not his home country, but it should feel good that he has been honoured far away on another continent.
