FIRST TIME AUCTIONED EVER! ONE IN A KIND!  SAME STYLE WORN BY DIEGO IN ICONIC WARM-UP "LIFE IS LIFE"

NOTE 2: On April 19, 1989 Napoli arrived in Bavaria for the second leg of their Uefa Cup semi-final with Bayern Munich two goals ahead from the first leg through Careca and Andrea Carnevale's strikes. It was far from an unassailable lead against Jupp Heynckes' Bayern team, but nobody told Maradona.

In Munich, he warmed up to "Live Is Life" as it blared out of the loudspeakers. Almost certainly coked up (Maradona allegedly began using cocaine in Barcelona in 1983), he performs the most mesmeric keepy-uppy exhibition on film, clapping, singing, swerving and jigging along to the Austrian pop rock group's signature song.

"Live Is Life" was released in 1985 and topped the European charts before reaching the top 40 in the US a year later, but its status as a Europop guilty pleasure is almost entirely down to Maradona's immortal warm-up.
