Maradona tells Cuba he'll lead anti-Bush march (Reuters) Updated: 2005-10-28 15:49
He thanked Cuba for giving him a haven for almost four years at a health farm
where he still has a house and plans to rest when his television contract ends
next year.
Maradona, one of the finest soccer players of all times,
captained Argentina to World Cup victory in 1986, but drug abuse undermined his
career and health.
Following an operation this year to staple his stomach and cut his ballooning
weight, a much slimmer Maradona launched a new career in August as television
host. His first guest was Brazilian soccer great Pele.
The Castro interview is "icing on the cake" for his top-rated show, Maradona
said.
"I was missing the greatest one, and now I have him."
