Maradona In Glamour Friendly
Rumours are abounding Tayside that Diego Maradona world footballer of the decade is to take part in a glamour friendly tie against his former team Napoli at Dens park sometime in the near future. Although details are vague it is thought that Maradonas friendship with Claudio Cannigia is thought to be one of the main reasons that this deal has came about. Our sources tell us that Maradona has verbally given his word that he will appear for the Dark Blues although no contracts or dates have as yet been arraanged.

      Newspaper reports suggest that the former Argentinian footballer is to paid in the region of £250,000  for his appearance which although seems a large amount may well turn out to be a bargain with the amount of publicity the event would generate and other commercial spin-offs.

      Maradona has had a colourful career and Scottish fans have a soft spot for him as we all remember "the hand of god" incident against England. He has also had problems with drug abuse and with his health in recent years but he will always be remembered for his skill as a footballer and it is amazing to think that he could soon be turning out for Dundee Football Club.
