Diego Armando Maradona Posters and Art Prints

El Pibe de Oro (The Golden Boy) Maradona is the first footballer to break the world transfer record twice. The record was created when he was bought by Barcelona from Boca Junior for a fee of 5 million pounds sterling in 1982. Two seasons later, Barcelona sold him to Napoli for a fee of 6.9 million pounds, which was the most expensive transfer in the world at that time. Being the first footballer to break the world transfer record twice, Maradona earned the nickname The Golden Boy. However, this nickname was previously said to have been used by another Boca Juniors player, Ernesto Lazzatti.
