Fair enough. He came back to the UK, and there's even a cute video of him in London. The only downside is that it's clearly fake; the time on Big Ben says 1.35am, and it's not even midnight yet. Still, it's the thought that counts.
Maradona and his 'reputation'

Two tabs open at once...
'Athletic Bilbao defender Andoni Goicoechea. After his return to full fitness, Maradona's reputation as a troublemaker started to turn the fans and press against him. Although the team won the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Cup, Maradona was allowed to leave Barcelona in 1983.'
In fact, Maradona left Barcelona in 1984, after his big revenge attack. At the end of the Copa del Rey final in 1984, when Barcelona lost 1-0 to Bilbao, he went on a one-man rampage, attacking Bilbao's goalkeeper and sparking a mass brawl. This was the final straw for Barcelona - it was an act of savage revenge that forced his sale rather than his reputation.
