Former Barcelona forward Thierry Henry wrote on Twitter in memory of Diego Maradona, who died on Wednesday of a heart attack.
“It was like yesterday, being old enough to watch the first World Cup that I can remember (1986),” said ex France striker Henry on his Twitter account.
“He was mesmerising. It was his World Cup. There were so many more memories. It was an honour & privilege to watch and then meet one of the greatest footballers to have ever played the game.
“My thoughts are with all his family, friends and many admirers. RIP.”
