November 25 will be remembered forever as the day in which Diego Armando Maradona died. The Argentinian legend was living in his house in Tigre, Buenos Aires, and suffered a heart attack at the age of 60. A couple of weeks before, he was hospitalized but could leave afterwards to his house.

Maradona has all type of incredible stories that show the personality of one of the best players ever, not to say the best one. One of those is the fact of him using two watches, one per wrist. That was a habit that he had during all his life almost since his professional retirement.

Maradona started his career as a soccer player at Argentinos Juniors and then passed through Boca Juniors, FC Barcelona, Napoli, Sevilla and Newell’s, even though his greatest moments occurred at Argentina national team, where he was capable of winning the World Cup with probably the best individual performance of a single player.

But when he was no longer a player, it was common to see Maradona with to watches. Even though it was a commercial reason of sponsorship, as a brand of watches paid him, the justification is that he had in one watch the hour of the place he was at and in the other one the hour of Argentina.
