Soccer legend Maradona mourns “second father” Castro
LIMA, Nov 26 (Reuters) – For soccer great Diego Maradona, Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro was more than a friend and fellow Latin American legend, he was “a second father.”
Maradona said Castro’s death late on Friday hit him like a tennis ball to the chest served by Juan Martin del Potro, the Argentine player he cheered on in the Davis Cup final where he received the news.
