I've been around some very famous people but no one has the effect Maradona has people tremble in his presence.
I had my footballing heroes such as Bryan Robson and Diego Maradona but my dad was a rugby league star and he was my real hero. But the relationship with my mum was rocky and we saw things that would affect any youngster.
You can learn as much about the history from reading about the present as you can vice versa that is learning about the present through history which is what I do for a living.
