Diego Maradona bedded countless women with a collection of jaw-dropping tales
The phenomenal talents of the late, great Diego Maradona and the incredible things he could do with a football in his pomp will be remembered forever.
But his legendary status is also attributed to his wild antics away from the pitch and you may not be surprised to read that the Argentine World Cup winner wasn't only a football wizard from the streets, but a freak in the sheets. And his cheating that robbed England of a place in the 1986 World Cup semi-finals was mirrored by a loose application of dating rules, amid numerous infidelities.
Rising from poverty in a shantytown outside Buenos Aires to become arguably the greatest player of all time, the pint-sized prince behind the infamous Hand of God goal at the Three Lions' expense was also an insatiable sex machine who bedded some of the most beautiful women in the world in his heyday. His bedroom antics are certainly as bananas as anything he did once he crossed the white lines (and boy, did he enjoy his fair share of those) of a football pitch.
There's an astonishing collection of amorous anecdotes that all add to the mystique of the man who captured the hearts of his nation and the Italian city of Naples when he fired unfancied Napoli to Serie A glory. Today would have been Maradona's 65th birthday, if not for his untimely death in November 2020. And what better way to mark the occasion than by remembering his sensational sexual exploits. From kinky cop roleplay, public pool sex and two-way mirrors to a dalliance with one of football's most famous WAGs, Maradona did it all. So sit back and enjoy - we know he certainly did.
Two-way mirror trick
Maradona, pictured here with his wife Claudia, was a notorious partier
When fooling around behind the back of his long-suffering wife Claudia, Maradona would often take mistresses to the luxury pad of his millionaire agent Guillermo Coppola.
What he didn't know is that Coppola, who was as notorious a playboy as his client, had secretly installed a two-way mirror opposite the sofa in the living room so he and/or Maradona's pals could watch the footballer's steamy sex sessions.
Maradona's mates would know when he'd be arriving at the apartment as they were the ones who had to arrange his illicit dates, and didn't hesitate to sneak in a few minutes beforehand for a bit of Big Brother-style voyeurism.
Cops and robbers roleplay
Diego Maradona and Veronica Ojeda engaged in plenty of kinky roleplay
El Diego's ex-partner Veronica Ojeda, who is the mother of his fifth child, Diego Junior, spilled the beans about their exotic sex life several years after their split.
She said he used to ask her to dress up like a police woman and use (cough) excessive force in the bedroom.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Veronica described Maradona as "the perfect lover", despite the fact she dated him when he was severely overweight, following more than a decade of post-career booze and partying.
"I didn't have sex for two years after him," she added. "Nobody beats him."
Public pool frollicking
Diego and Veronica also had sex in a public pool
Roleplay wasn't enough for Diego and Veronica, who once bonked in a public swimming pool, surrounded by dozens of oblivious people.
"It happened at a party in Colombia," Veronica admitted. "I don’t know if anyone realised what was going on."
It's little wonder Veronica was so keen to get her rocks off wherever she could with the Napoli legend.
She once rated him "10 out of 10" between the sheets, and "eight of 10" for oral sex. "There was real passion between us," she said. We bet there was, Ronnie.
'Furniture moving' bonking with Wanda Nara
Notorious football WAG Wanda Nara
It's claimed Maradona once slept with super WAG Wanda Nara, now 38, the infamously on-again, off-again ex-wife of former Inter Milan, PSG and Argentina forward Mauro Icardi, now of Galatasaray.
Their alleged night of passion happened in 2006, when she was aged around 20 and he was around 45, prior to Wanda's relationships with her first husband Maxi Lopez, and his team-mate and her second husband, Icardi.
Argentinian TV star Mirtha Legrand says she heard Maradona and Wanda going at it through the wall of her hotel room, and that they were so loud she couldn't sleep.
Legrand told TV programme 'La Noche De Mirtha': "Wanda Nara came up to me. She said 'Why don't you invite me onto your programme?'
"I responded 'You? Who went out with Maradona? Last night you didn't let me sleep.' I was in the presidential suite, next to them and I couldn't sleep because of the noise.
"They moved furniture," Legrand claimed. "I don't know what they were doing. This is the truth. I was an auditory witness to their rampant sexual encounter."
