Diego Maradona

Family
Maradona was born in Lanús, but raised in Villa Fiorito, a shantytown on the southern outskirts of Buenos Aires, to a poor family that had moved from Corrientes Province. He was the first son after three daughters. He has two younger brothers, Hugo and Eduardo, both of whom were also professional football players.

First experience of sport
At age 10, Maradona was spotted by a talent scout while he was playing in his neighborhood club Estrella Roja. He became a staple of Los Cebollitas, the junior team of Buenos Aires's Argentinos Juniors. As a 12-year-old ball boy, he amused spectators by showing his wizardry with the ball during the halftime intermissions of first division games.

Early succeses
On 20 October 1976, Maradona made his professional debut with Argentinos Juniors, ten days before his sixteenth birthday. He played there between 1976 and 1981, scoring 115 goals in 167 appearances before his £1m transfer to Boca Juniors. Having joined the Boca squad midway through the 1981 season, Maradona played through 1982 earning his first league championship medal. Whilst playing for Argentinos Juniors, English club Sheffield United put in an offer of £180,000 for his services but the bid was rejected.
After the 1982 World Cup, in June, Maradona was transferred to Barcelona in Spain for a then world record £5m.  In 1983, under coach César Luis Menotti, Barcelona and Maradona won the Copa del Rey, beating Real Madrid, and the Spanish Super Cup, beating Athletic de Bilbao. However, Maradona had a difficult tenure in Barcelona. First a bout with hepatitis, then a broken ankle caused by an ill-timed tackle by Athletic's Andoni Goikoetxea threatened with jeopardizing Maradona's career, but after treatment and therapy it was possible for him to soon be back on the pitch. At Barcelona, Maradona got into frequent disputes with the team's directors, especially club president  Josep Lluís Núñez, culminating with a demand to be transferred out of Camp Nou in 1984. He was transferred to Napoli in Italy's Serie A for another record fee, £6.9m.

Greatest Achievements
Started in 21 consecutive matches for Argentina in four World Cups these are 1982, 1986, 1990, and 1994. He appeared 16 times as captain of the national team, a World Cup-record. Scored 8 goals and made 8 assists in 21 World Cup appearances, including 5 goals and 5 assists in 1986Tied for highest goal-scorer from Argentina in World Cup finals.

Jack Huczek
Jack Huczek is a retired American professional racquetball player borned on January 13, 1983. 

Huczek made his first IRT appearance at 17 years old in 2000, and won his first IRT event at age 19. Only five players have won a men's pro tour tournament at a younger age. That win was in Huczek's first season on the tour full time, and helped him finish 5th in the 2001-02 season end rankings. 

As good as his pro career has been, Huczek's record has been better playing internationally on Team USA. In nine appearances, he won seven gold medals in singles as well as a silver and bronze. The last gold medal came at the 2009 World Games.

Huczek's record at the IRF World Junior Championships will likely never been broken or even equaled. He won 11 consecutive World Junior titles beginning with the Boys 8 and under World Junior title in 1992, and continuing with two in each successive age division until 2002.

I like him because he is the greatest racquetball player that have exists and I like the fast he run and hit the ball.

His father's coaching paid off, for when he was 11 he played for his first soccer team, that of the town of Bauru, Brazil. He moved up in competition with outstanding play, and when he was 15 he was playing for the team from the village of Santos. He soon received broader exposure when he was loaned to the Vasco da Gama team in Rio di Janeiro.

He returned to Santos, and his team went on to win six Brazilian titles. In 1962 he again played on the World Cup team, but an injury forced him to sit out the contest.
Soccer is a low scoring game, but on November 19, 1969, before a crowd of 100, 000 in Rio di Janeiro, Pele scored his 1, 000th goal. He was not only a high scorer, but a master of ball handling as well. It seemed that the ball was somehow attached to his feet as he moved down the field.
