FIFA bosses point the finger at dirty Diego

-

NOT for the first time in his chequered career, Diego Maradona has fallen foul of FIFA disciplina­rians.

They have warned the former Argentina World Cup winner that the Respect campaign applies to the members of their Legends programme as much as anyone else.

There were complaints about Maradona (above) making an obscene gesture at other spectators after Argentina snatched a late win against Nigeria earlier this week.

FIFA’s executive Colin Smith said: “Diego Maradona is one of the greatest footballer­s who ever lived. But we expect all players and former players to behave in a respectful manner.”
