3. Joachim Loew
The Germany manager had critics hounding him for smoking during Germany’s 3-2 victory over Portugal.
“What can I say? That’s my personal business. I sometimes smoke a cigarette or have a glass of red wine in the evening. That is nothing outrageous,” Loew said.
2. Johan Cruyff
“Football has given me everything in this life; tobacco almost took it all away.”
Cruyff smoked 20 cigarettes a day until he underwent a double heart bypass surgery after the cigarettes and stress caught up with him. To help him give up on smoking, Chupa Chups Group, a Barcelona-based confectioner, sent him a box of lollipops.
1. Diego Maradona
Maradona has been caught on camera smoking several times. Even after kicking his drug habit, Maradona has made the headlines a number of times.
But be it cigars or cigarettes, it doesn’t seem as if this football legend will be giving up on his smoking habits anytime soon.
