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.

Diego Maradona (L) and Cuban President Fidel Castro smile after appearing together on a live television broadcast in Havana, October 27, 2005. Maradona was in Havana to interview Castro for his weekly television show in Argentina and promised President Castro he would be at the front of an anti-Bush march in Argentina next week.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."
