Buenos Aires: Argentine football great Diego Maradona has admitted his drug addiction stopped him from fulfilling his potential as a player. In an interview with Argentine television channel Tyc Sports, the 53-year-old said he has not had a normal life and because of that he feels 25 years older.
"I am 53 going on 78 because my life hasn't been normal," Maradona said.
"I gave my opponents a big advantage due to my illness. Do you know the player I could have been if I hadn't taken drugs?"
Maradona, part of Argentina's 1986 World Cup-winning team, is widely regarded among the greatest players in history.
"That needs to be said. People tell me, 'Diego you are 53 years old now'. Fifty-three? I've lived 80 with everything that I've gone through," the former Boca Juniors, Barcelona and Napoli star added.
